I am a black woman in michigan who had open rhinoplasty surgery a week ago to make my nose more defined. I had a bridge added my nostrils narrowed and my tip decreased, well I look like a natural born pig lady mixed with someone who should of played in the silence of the lambs. I look at other people who had surgery and they look just fine, their aleast able to go outside. I do like how it seems like it will look, but I don't have a clue how its going to look because my entire face is swollen. I didn't originally want a bridge, but my doctor said that it wouldn't look defined if I didn't get one so I really want to know will this changed or am I doomed. My surgeon said that I wouldn't see any results for about six months, and I want to no why so long when sometimes I read surgeons say a month. I needs some answer, because I don't want to spend my summer in hiding and with my judgemental family I wouldn't dare let them see me this way,because it would be crucial and embarrasing. Please help!
