Hello, At this point I wouldn't worry too much. There is still some swelling which will gradually go down over the next 6-9 months and normalise to some degree. Also, it takes time to get used to the new appearance. The nose is the central part of your face and it is not unusual to have a...
Hello, After 6 months this probably won't change anymore. If you have some photos it might be easier to give you more specific advice. An upturned nose can be attractive in women unless the middle bit = columella sits low in which case you can get this "pig"-like appearance. Over-correction...
Rhinoplasty patients are deeply anesthetized before the anesthesiologist places your orotracheal tube. The end of the tube has an inflatable cuff that prevents blood and secretions from entering your airway, which may protect you from aspiration pneumonia. You should not expect to experience or...
