I had rhinoplasty done three years ago. For the first year I was happy with it,cause it looked natural. Once the swelling went down I've developed a pinched tip and right nostril is bigger then the other. Also, my skin is really thin and I have a weird brown patch where the surgeon has rasped the bone.
