1 week post-op. My nose is upturned and very scary looking. Is post operation depression common? (photos)

March 19, 2019

I am 7 days out of rhinoplasty and feel like a whoville character from the grinch who stole Christmas. My nose is upturned and very scary looking. I am severely depressed and I am afraid to leave my house. Please tell me this is swelling. I know it’s early and it takes about a year for it to look like the final product but I am very afraid I won’t like the results. I need a doctor to look at this and tell me it was well done and this ‘Momo’ look is temporary.
