1 year post op- My nose looks wider and pudgy, do I need a revision? (photos)

April 15, 2022
Asked By:Hazel2019

I had a rhinoplasty March 2021 and I’m extremely unhappy with it. My nose looks so much wider and pudgy. I have lost the definition in my tip. He did not operate on my tip. Did lowering the bridge change the way my tip will look? Do I need a revision? When I wake up in the morning I am still swollen and it gets better at the end of the day but still not the tip I had pre-op.
