Hi docs! Thx for reading! 2 months post rhino. I've posted 4 pre pics and 6 post pics. I liked how sharp my nose was pre from the side, very European. I wanted it to be slimmer in the front, take the nostrils in a bit, and make rid of the hump. NOW, the bridge is crooked, my tip is not nearly as sharp and pointy as I had liked it before, it's now bloated and elf-like. I feel like it has changed my entire face. I'm getting super depressed. Is it swollen? Or am I screwed? Help please! Thanks!!
