I’ve just had the cast taken off after open rhinoplasty. I’m hoping there is no definition in my nose / structure because of the swelling & that this will reduce? The tip looks bulbous and my nostrils look hidden ? I feel my nose is too short / womanly? Can it be lengthened? I want a masculine and defined nose as opposed to a soft womanly one.
