Asian rhinoplasty: my radix is too high, is this due to swelling? Will my tip get any smaller? (Photo)

Asked By:bobabaee in Ho Chi Minh City, VN

I got closed rhinoplasty, silicone to raise the bridge and ear cartilage for tip projection. It's been 2 weeks post-op and it's discouraging to see how high my radix is. My nose is too high and prominent between my eyes. I'm praying that the radix will eventually drop but it seems like all the swelling has resolved in the upper part of my nose between the eyes. I'm convinced that this is what I'm stuck with and I don't like it. My tip is looking super bulbous too... please help!
