1 month post-op rhinoplasty, Nose looked better at cast removal than now, advice? (photos)

March 1, 2018
Asked By:noserhino13

I got my rhinoplasty done a month ago and when the cast was removed, it was small, the tip was nicely shaped, and had a gorgeous slope on the bridge. Fast forward about 15 days later, my nose lost that pretty, small shape and completely changed. Its big, puffy, and the slope isn’t curved anymore. My tip is round and awkward looking. Its as if my nose gets bigger everyday...is this normal? What can I do? I’m desperate and upset that it got ruined in the process or something.
