Can someone please tell me in your opinion what is wrong with my nose? I’m very disappointed in my recent rhinoplasty. The swelling went down after the first week but it hasn’t gone down since. I think my nose looks way too big for my face, crooked still, too much nostril show from the side and droopy tip. I wanted a feminine small nose And ended up with this. Also, It looks like there is nose hair or something coming out of my nose but it’s actually just red Vains I’ve developed there since the surgery?
