Asked By:lheide in Orlando, FL

I am nine days post op and doctor took off my hump etc and he says that the bones left in each side of my nose will fill with bone and smooth out. That totally scares me becadue they are very wide! I'm literally embarrassed to go out in public. The wide part of my nose you see, is hard bone!
