Nose definition is gone, did the cartilage move? Should I be concerned? (photos)

Question

I added photos. I'm worried that my nose isn't stable. I had my surgery in Istanbul. So I can't go in to see the doctor as I live in the US.

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photos your nose seems like still swollen. It would be better to talk about it with your surgeon. If you can provide photos with better lighting, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

In general, it appears that your dorsal nasal lines are straight and your nasal tip does not seem to have lost projection or have any drooping associated with this. In light of this, would say that the nasal support is likely intact. However, it is difficult to tell what you mean about "losing definition" without before and after pictures or knowing more about your expectations in terms of tip position and definition. Side profile pictures would help as well. The best way to tell about nasal support is with physical examination which of course can only be done in person and should be performed by a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon.

Sometimes it’s helpful to consult with a local specialist after international surgery so you can have peace of mind. Hope this helps.
