I am 3 weeks post-op from rhinoplasty. I asked for the bump in my nose to be removed, and for the bridge to be narrowed and straight (My nasal bones were wide and then it sort of went inward before it went out again in the tip. But from front view the nasal bones still are wide and then go in, it is not a nice lined slope like I see in other post op pictures and wanted.
