Is it possible that at 15 months post-op my nose will refine much more & the tip become less bulbous & the hump go down?(photo)

Asked By:Lcatt in Washington, DC

I had a deviated septum & collapsed left nasal cavity. I went to a plastic surgeon vs ENT for a more refined, feminine nose. My surgeon & I were in agreement prior to surgery that my nose would be refined & the tip feminine looking along w/an ability to breathe better. 15 months post-op & my nose is larger, asymmetric & I still can't breathe well. Saw my surgeon @ 12 months & said I am 90% healed & sometimes the last 10% is what makes the difference. I feel like my surgeon is not being honest.
