Asked By:Bitty2497 in Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand

Im 8 months post op after having a "lateral osteotomy, medial osteotomy, tip plasty using septal cartilage, hump removal, and SMR". My nose is completely different to what it was at 8 weeks and 4 months post op to what it is now. It has grown back bigger, the hump is back, my tip is uneven (due to swelling? I cant tell) and am i possibly slipping into saddle nose? Why does it look so bad now compared to 8 wks/4 mths? What happened? Talking to the surgery who did it has been unhelpful
