Eyes Looks Different After Rhinoplasty?

Question

I had rhinoplasty 41 days ago.My nose was wide and bulbouse.My nasal bone was narrowed and tip looks thinner now.But i have problem about my eyes.I am not sure because it is evoling to its old shape, or now more close than last two weeks.But on some angles my eyes looks weird and i can't recognize my eyes.2-3 weeks ago it was weird in all photo angles.I read RP never changes eyes shape but can narrowed bones cause eyes to change temporary? (or swellings around eyes.)

You would have to provide preoperative and postoperative pictures to evaluate anything.The nose 
can be swollen for up to a year or more.  Swelling will depend upon the 
nature of maneuvers employed, presence of grafts or implants, thickness 
of skin, open vs closed, revision vs primary,  etc.	Kenneth Hughes, MD	Los Angeles, CA

Pictures before and after your rhinoplasty would be helpful, but rhinoplasty surgery should not alter the eyes.  It is possible that your eyes could appear a bit different with a narrower nose, and this could be the cause of your perceived change.  It can take a year for the swelling after rhinoplasty to resolve, so this could also be a component of the change you see.
