Hello, I had an open tip plasty 2 weeks ago! My surgeon informed me that everything went well! The plan was to make my nose shorter (deprojection) and a little leas bulbous at the tip with the removal of some tissue from either side of the nose! At the moment and from the pictures it doesn't look to me as though there is any change at all! I am aware that swelling may play a part in a final result! However in your opinion will it look more defined and smaller as the weeks go on? Thank you in advance!

Paul G. Gerarchi, MBBS, FRACS (not practicing) says:
What you are experiencing almost certainly relates to swelling. It is extremely unlikely that the actual distance between your eyes has been widened by a rhinoplasty procedure. I'm confident that your appearance will improve as the swelling settles. Hope this helps
This is not normal! See your surgeon; if you're not satisfied get a second opinion. I don't have any other recommendations but I'm adding this because the this program requires that I respond with at least 100 characters.
At 7 weeks post open rhinoplasty, swelling is expected. The swelling may alter the shape of your nose. I would share my concerns with your surgeon and follow all post-op instructions. Give it some time before any decisions are made.
