My hump was removed by the rasping technique and cephalic trim to my tip , which has left me with a wider and a piggy like nose. I read that removing the hump makes the nose looks wider. My question is how can we fix this problem? My nose looks wide, no bridge whatsoever, nostrils very uneven, alar retraction, and simply just ugly. Please tell me what to do or name some of the things that can be done to reverse those outcomes. I have not taken a step outside of house for a month. Help. Help.
