I'm 7 days post rhinoplasty & 1 day post cast removal. My nostrils seem pulled up. They are bigger & more exposed than they were prior to surgery. In the prediction images my surgeon gave me, my nostril size did not change. Is it the swelling that is causing them to look like this? I have read that excessive tip work can cause nostril shape to change, but minor work was done to my tip. The main focus of my rhinoplasty was bump removal. Will this change as swelling decreases or is this permanent?
