Front of my nose has lost shape: the tip is too big and blobby. Will the shape and tip change and how much?

January 5, 2019

4 weeks since my op, 3 weeks since cast removal & I am horrified with the look of my nose. Aim: remove the bump so it appears straighter, raise the tip by 2mm to help this & to remove *slightly* cartilage from the left side of the nose for symmetry. I know my nose will continue to change but I fear not as much as I want. It was highly important to keep the triangular shape of my nose yet this has gone; the tip looks like a clown's nose. Can I get the old shape of my nose back from the front?
