I had the operation for medical and esthetic purpose, I specifically ask for a curvy side/tip projection. Love the results until the 5 month when a bump appear, my doc told me to not worried and it would go away, I massage and tape it but now my tip projection is non-existent and my nose is not even similar to the simulation pics, should i be worried or swelling after 9 month can be that strong? I feel uneasy and even people confirmed to me that my nose look big compared to what I ask.
