Hi, I had rhinoplasty 10 days ago. I had bump taken down, Osteotomy, a cartilage graft on my left side and added slightly to my tip and he said he also narrowed it to keep proportions. I know it's very early but I was just a little concerned as at the moment it looks as though my tip isn't inline with the rest of my nose?
