7 days post op, my nose is long and very pointy. Is Revision rhinoplasty needed? (photos)

Asked By:hershe22 in NYC

I am 7 days post op, I just got my cast removed and I'm devastated with my nose! Wow, I just can't believe it. The nose is long and very pointy. I printed out these pictures of my nose I photoshopped and I don't understand how the doctor could be so wrong! Do you think this nose is good? Does it fit my face? ...I believe not. I want to correct my nose tip as soon as possible. When can I undergo a revision? Is it because of the swelling? Will my nose tip swell down and get round eventually?
