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?
