I had rhinoplasty about 7 weeks ago. I know that it's still really early in the healing process but I'm somewhat concerned about my results. My old nose had a huge bump and hung over quite a bit. Now I have no bump but the tip is kind of strange and still overprojects/droops down. My nose is still hard in the supratip area but it never was very "squishy" even before surgery. What's going on? P.S. My right nostril is higher than the left but it was like that before surgery.
