Did not expect the post surgery healing to be this smooth

I have been on a quest to find the right doctor for my rhinoplasty for 14 years. I was about to give up. I called Dr. Robinson office and was fortunate to get a free consultation. The doctor was very through with what he could do and would not do. I appreciated it so much because other consultation expressed different views. I based my decision on how this doctor made me feel. It felt right and I set up a date to have it done... finally. He performed the surgery 4 days ago. I had no bruising only swollen cheeks and a nose bleed that is typical. I felt no pain besides a minor headache. I don't know if this is common for all his patients but I was not expecting the post surgery healing to be this smooth. My splint comes off in a few days and I will share photos then. I can only review the consultation and the post surgery at this time.

The splint came off today and I have mixed feeling. My profile looks better but I am African American and the nose does not fit my face. I wanted the bulb remove but now I feel the nose is still the star because it does not look natural. I am hoping that the next 6 weeks it will get better. Also the area that was stitch did not close. This concerns me.

This is where we are today. I was told I have about 10 percent swelling left. Still getting use to the new look. The photo below show me smiling and the other no smile. The doctor did explain that perfect symmetry would probably not be achievable. The right side looks much better. I am hoping the left side will even out is it showing a little unevenness. Overall I do feel my face is much more photogenic. I was told it would take about a year before all the swelling subsides.
