Hi, I got an open rhinoplasty on January the 28th, I feel nothing has changed besides the remove of the bump & my nose still appears so big especially the length of the tip. It’s been about fours months now. Is it possible that it will shorten from the side when the swelling goes down. The first 2 photos are before from the side and front.
