Im 11 days post-op. I feel like half my nose was chopped off and it doesn't suit my face. I know it's still early on in the process and I'm trying to be positive but it's difficult because I look like the worst version of myself. My friend have made comment too. Is my nose too small for my face? I can't share my concerns with my surgeon for some time as part of the conditions of the procedure.
Answer: It looks fine I would have every expectation that with time you will have a nice looking nose that suits your face and you will be a happy patient. Put your iPhone away. 10 minutes mirror time per day. Get new friends. Wait patiently. Sorry if this seems harsh but someone has to tell you.

Answer: Post-Operative Concerns Thank you for your question. You are very early in the healing process, and from pictures that you posted, you appear to be healing well. It will take from 6 months to one full year before all swelling resolves from the nasal soft tissues. I would continue to follow up your surgeon's post-operative instructions closely, to assure that you continue to heal. Also, be sure to discuss your concerns with your surgeon. I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

Answer: Unhappy after rhinoplasty Thanks for the question. A rhinoplasty is one of the most psychologically challenging plastic surgery procedures that one can undergo. It is not uncommon for patients to feel like their new nose is not their own. Based on basic facial measurements your nose does not appear to be too small for your face and your profile view has improved. As time passes you will notice that the nasal tip has more definition and you will become more accustomed to your new nose.
