I had a nose job 6 months ago to get a thinner nose and fix a small bump. My profile is great, yet the bridge and the tip from the front still look quite wide, in fact bigger than my nose pre rhinoplasty. I understand the swelling should go down in 12+ months however I feel like it would have to be a drastic decrease in order to reach the computerized after pictures that my doctor made. Is it just swelling, or should I reach out to him for a revision? (If so would I have to pay again?)
