Is my new nose too small after septorhinoplasty with a turbinate reduction? (Photos)

August 27, 2018
Asked By:AmberZuniga in Texas, TX

I recently had a Septorhinoplasty with a turbinate reduction by my (board certified) doctor. Never did I think I’d be wondering, post-op, if it were too small and perhaps lacked the amount of structure in the bridge to support it. I don’t doubt my doctor’s capabilities. I’m just scared as this is all new to me and am learning that noses that have been operated on can shrink and/or cave in over time. Can this happen to me? Can anyone give me their expert opinion based on my before and after?
