So a lot of swelling has went down and my nose looks way better. I heeling process is a lot slower than most. My nose did not start looking presentable until almost 5-6 weeks. My surgery was on June 8th, so it has been 57 days or 2 months surgery. My nose is still hard and swollen, but look at the updated photos. My nose has changed a lot and changes weekly. I will post an update at month 3.

28 days post op. I hate my nose
So today is really 29 days post op and I must say I hate my nose, I'm starting to regret letting this doctor touch my nose. I am already looking for revision doctor because although I think the doctor should fix his mistake / bad work, because this is not what my imaging photo looked like, I don't want him messing it up again. My nose looks really boxy right now from front view. It looks like a square with no tip triangle or definition at all. Profile looks good, but I don't take profile pictures or talk to people while they look at me from my profile view. My nose started to break out real bad like I am having allergic reaction, so I have to go back to doctor to see what is going on. I have been avoiding my friends and having no life. Please help.

Patience patience. Your nose is still swollen. You need to wait atleast a couple of months before you can see the result
Your nose could be swelling due to rigorous activities or too much physical movement. I was informed by my doctor and nurses to lay off exercising for a while, no heavy lifting of objects, bending over, etc., that could cause your blood pressure to rise. Take it easy and rest. Try not to stare at your nose too much or it will drive you stir crazy.
It's true. Wait for a lot of the swelling to desolve. It will probably change a lot. Good luck.

Day 17 update
So my nose is still huge, top lip still stiff and I can't smile. I am waiting to see the surgerians work that has been masked by swelling, or so they say. I sill can't walk in public without being starred at by random people, so I know it's not just me. I hope my nose looks smaller soon and the black circles around my eyes disappear real soon. I will continue to update you.

Girl Ima smack you. lol! Take a good look at the pics your posted on the 20th. In the after pics on the right side of the 1st and last set of pics, your nose clearly looks improved to me. Your bridge is higher, nostrils are narrower and the tip has volume. Yes, it is still very swollen, but that's normal girl. It could be a year or are more before all the swelling goes away, but it will go down. Really it will. I'm NOT JUST SAYING THAT TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER bc false compliments only delay the inevitable truth -- so why go there?? I'm 18 days post and my nose is still very swollen too, but it is slowly and gradually take a more defined shape. The dark circles are also temporary and you'll lucky bc I have natural dark circles around my eyes. I have to use AMBI daily to make them closer to the shade of the rest of my skin. Stiff upper lip is normal too. Most folks can't smile for a few weeks after either. Hang in there. It will definitely get better over time. It may not be perfect (no one's is), but it will be better. I already see that. Take can dear. And the next time some one stares at you -smile at them the best you can and keep on stroll'in!
And remember, the swelling can go up and down daily. So don't worry if one day the swelling is down more and the next day it's back up. Just the nature of the beast! lol!
Thank you! I needed that. I use am I too lol!
I can see why are you frustrated, because your swelling is a bit persistent, but it is getting better. Your last pics are improved from the previous ones. Plus it helps you look so happy in them. The pic with earrings and lipstick you look very elegant. I tend to agree with blessedmore that you will continue to see improvement, even if slow.
