Hi- I had Rhinoplasty 9 days ago & it looks like my tip is really too high & my nostrils were taken in a lot. I look like a Who from Dr Seus! I'm nervous that my new nose won't look right & will remain looking like a snout. I'm Multiracial but I felt like I had a Middle Eastern/Black nose & I wanted to keep my ethnic features but a more feminine & refined nose.
