I just had an open Asian rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago from the Philippines. He is a good surgeon, his works are great. Unfortunately not on my nose. I have now a bridge that is too high and a pointy tip. The surgeon used a goretex on my dorsum and an ear cartilage on my tip- look so unnatural. My surgeon said it's still swollen. I don't feel like myself anymore. I'm embarrassed of how I look like. Not sure how much will it improve. Thinking of a revision: for a nose close to how it looked like before.
