I had rhinoplasty done about 7 months ago and the doctor told me it will take 2 years to see the final results but I doubt that the shape of my nose will change only swelling. If you look at my nose it doesn’t seem straight. It comes down straight at the bridge of my nose and then kind of goes out, you have to look at the picture to see what i’m talking about. In the last pic there’s a bone sticking out of the left side of the top side of my nose. Should I do a revision rhinoplasty in 5 months?
