I had a closed rhinoplasty 4 weeks ago to make my nose thinner, both at the tip and the bridge and also removed a small bump. Quiet a lot of work said the surgeon. He also moved my nostrils since i had pretty long ones before. As you see in the picture the tip is uneven and also the bridge? Is this swelling or do you think I need another surgery?
