Asked By:lk23_27 in East Perth, AU

Hello, I had rhinoplasty and alarplasty 4 weeks ago and a goretex implant was used and also cartilage from ear was put in the tip. I know it is very early and my surgeon said I will see the final result after a year but I would just like to know once the swelling has gone done will my nose appear to look more projected and less bulbous? I think my nose skin is quite thick. Thank you very much
