Nose still looks really wide 3 months after septo/rhinoplasty. Is it just a case of waiting for the swelling to go down? (Photo)

Asked By:Ukgirly in Scotland, United Kingdom

I'm really worried that my nose is going to be wider than it was before I had my surgery. I had a dorsal hump and a deviated septum. I asked for the tip of my nose to be refined also. If you look at the pictures my old nose was quite narrow, this probably one of the few features of my old nose that I liked. Can you tell if it is just a case of waiting for the swelling to go down? I really hate how it looks just now, it's really getting me down. Thank you
