Once the cast is off, is it likely to drop down and be a normal nose?

Asked By:Rhinoplasticfantastic in Portland, OR

Once the cast is off, is it likely to drop down and be a normal nose? I am 5 days post op and getting my cast removed tomorrow. My nose looks piggish and lots of asymmetrical swelling. I am looking forward to addressing the issues with my surgeon tomorrow. I am scared that my nose will be piggish forever.
