Hi Doctors, I would like to know what you think about my silicone implant. I am 18 days post op and I feel like my nose implant is too big because I can see the edges between my eyes on top of the bridge. My doctor told me not to be worried because It's still swollen but I feel like as the swelling goes away the implant will be more visible. Do you think my surgeon should fix this?
