Why Was There No Change in Nose After Rhinoplasty?

MsMiami77
2 months after open Rhinoplasty, why does my nose look the same? I had open Rhinoplasty (alar base reduction, tip refinment, and nostrils were narrowed) but it does not seem to look that different from my old nose.People at work and even my own father can not tell, I did not want it to be so obvious but I did want a subtle change.My nose still looks broad and wide especially around the end of the tip. Will time REALLY change the appearance that much or am I stuck with my new nose looking A LOT like my old one?Be well and thank you, MISS MIAMI.
