Is it possible the nose was made too small for me to breathe? (Photo)

July 20, 2018

Hello all, since my rhinoplasty 1 month ago I have been having a hard time breathing but I can't tell if it's just my head freaking out about the tip revision or if there is truly something wrong. Here are some pics. Is it possible the nose was made too narrow and I'm not getting enough oxygen? Or does this seem more like anxiety and I need to see a therapist? It almost feels like I just don't feel air coming in thru my nose anymore and it freaks me out. What else can it be? I am so depressed.
