Asked By:Alexanderr in Abbeyville, Colorado, Yhdysvallat
Hello, i’m currently on 7months after the procedure and i really do like how the nose is looking. However only thing that i’m concerned about is that on the leftside i feel some type of ”dip” or ”bump” that makes the nose looks like it’s out of shape. It’s pretty minimal and i do not feel it on the otherside because right side feels perfectly smooth and straight. In my case the leftside was operated more according to surgeon but i’m interested to know is this normal? (I have circled the are)
