Had rhinoplasty 7 days ago. Nose looks very wide and avatar-esque after surgery. Feeling down and regretful. Thoughts? (photo)

Asked By:sfvalleygal in Los Angeles, CA

Have been extremely swollen and bruised, way more than I have seen others on this site before. My cheeks, lips, and whole face is puffy and swollen. For this reason I was expecting to look swollen and avatar-like when my doc removed my cast, but not this bad!!! I am panicking because I can't tell if my nose is going to be this wide or if it's just swelling. I had a bump removed and osteotomies performed as well as a pretty major septoplasty.
