Why does my nose look so wrong after tip plasty & alarplasty? Will I need a revision?

Asked By:honeyfosho in Los Angeles, CA

I had my alars and hanging nostril trimmed and tiplasty harvested from my ear. I am now day 9 since surgery and my nose looks so wrong for my face. It looks bottom heavy and droops downwards and looks too long from profile view. My plastic surgeon said as swelling goes away it will get smaller and the tip will lift up. I'm worried that it won't look much different. I attached my "wish pic" that was shown to the doc. Will i need revision?
