Over a Month Since my Surgery and the Nose Sits Too High on my Face.

June 2, 2011
Asked By:kako2 in Tracy, ca

I had my surgery over a month ago. I am really bothered by how high my nose sits from my face. the tip of my nose is too high. I am so self conscious. This is affecting my family life and my work. My doctor told me that it may come down a little. He made the tip higher thinking I may like it. I can't stand my nose. I am in deep depression. I just want to take the cartilage graft out of the tip of my nose. I don't want to wait another year. How soon can i have these cartilage removed?
