I am 13 days post op from an ethnic rhinoplasty and I really only see a slight difference in my nose despite having a lot of work done : osteotomy, ear cartilage to the tip, alarplasty. Most of the 2 week post op pics I see of others show at least a 50% change from their original nose at this stage while I only see a 10% change. The other patients that had surgery around the same time are enjoying their new nose. This is depressing. My surgeon is out of the country says be patient.
