Hello! Today is day 17 post-op and my nose is just the same bulbous nose that I had. I’m very disappointed and depressed at this point and I feel like nothing will change. When I asked my doctor if this round tip will go with time he said he doesn’t know because it depends on how my body responds. His answer made me even more depressed.
