I had a rhinoplasty Monday 29 to remove my hump, define my bulbous tip, and narrow my nose. PROFILES - 1) before photo and projected photo taken/altered at my drs, 2) a close up of before, 3/4 - FRONTAL) photos taken yesterday (one week after ). I'm concerned about the remaining hump, still bulbous tip, and still wide front view (I do not have a before photo of the front, sorry). How much of this is due to swelling. I know some is, but how much (especially the hump)? %-Wise? Thank you!
