Nose Too Far Apart from Upper Lip After Rhinoplasty? (Photos)

I was had a nose job 3 days ago, I used to have a droopy nose and a big nose, the surgeon said he would elevate the tip of my nose a bit. I feel like the tip of my nose is way too far from my upper lip right now, I feel so stressed, and I have the feeling he raised my nostrils up. Is it normal that i have this feeling and does it look fine to you? First pic is on day 1, second pic day 2, third pic day 3.

Hi, Alar batten grafts are typically used to open the internal nasal valve for nasal  valve collapse. They do increase nasal flaring to a certain extent. An alternative may be spreader grafts. Best, Dr.S.

Each surgeon has their own approach to rhinoplasty surgery. Many use temporary nasal cotton, tampons, gauze, or packing for the first night after surgery. These temporary nasal packs are removed the next day in the office. For claustrophobic or anxious patients, you surgeon may use nasal tubes...
