I had a very thin nose with a hump on it. The doctor pretty much rasped the hump down to a straight line and the sides and no tip work. My nose is straighter yes but it lacks definition and feels like a blob. When I look at old pictures my nose was so sharp, thin and straight from the front.. He says its still swollen but it was a rasping with no breaking and its been 8 weeks. I;m freaking out right now. Please help

The redness/purple you describe is not typical. I would see your doctor again. If he/she still feels this is normal, seek a second opinion for evaluation.
At 8-9 days post rhinoplasty, swelling is to be expected. You can not evaluate your nose at this early stage. Recovery/swelling from a rhinoplasty will take weeks to months for it to be completely resolved. Give it time.
AND again ONLY 2 WEEKS!!! SWELLING SWELLING SWELLING... Plus in the posted photos I do NOT see the 'hump' you mention... Allow 3 months healing please....////
