Hello! I had a primary rhinoplasty about 1 year and 8 months ago mainly because I had a bump on one side of my dorsum due to a previous fracture. Since I had the procedure, something seemed “off” about my face from the front view (I quite like the profile). I can’t quite put my finger on it. Is it possible my nose is too short now? Any ideas about what is wrong? I wish I had just kept my old nose. It fit my face so much better.
