5 Weeks Post Open Rhinoplasty and my Nose Still Looks Huge in Pictures

1849anon
I had an open rhino abt 5 1/2 weeks ago. I am still not happy with my results.I can agree that my profile looks better than before (had a hump/droopiness/flared nostrils,). My front view looks huge and shapeless in pictures. Although it doess look smaller in the mirror, I still worry b/c I will graduate in Dec. 2011 and I would like for my nose to thin out and look smaller in pictures. I used to like my front view pre op..now I don't like it. Will my nose ever look better in pics?
