Asked By:jelena123 in Los Angeles, California

It's been 5 months since my surgery and recently my nose has been looking bigger than say a week ago. It's annoying me heaps because i don't understand how the shape can change so much 5 months after, I thought the top would only get smaller, not the bone and tip getting bigger. Why is this happening?
