Have my nasal bones been made too thin? Why can I see the sides of my nose from the front profile? Is this normal? (Photo)

Asked By:n373203 in Scotland, United Kingdom

I have had a dorsal hump removed and now my front profile looks all out of place. I used to have a straight looking nose from the front now it looks triangular. The side bones of my nose appear further across my face and are wider than the tip of my nose. The surgeon said it’s not swelling and it won’t change. The nasal bones seem too thin to me is this why I can see the ‘sides’ of my nose? Can anything be done to fix this? What has happened? It’s been months now.
