Rhinoplasty (nose job) recovery requires patience. The nose and face are initially swollen, sore, and bruised. Some bleeding is common. Although these side effects are not usually bothersome after the first week or two, some minor residual swelling may persist for several months, and the final results of surgery may not be visible for up to a year.

Hello SunshineSlayer. You are absolutely right. I have consulted rhinoplasty for my nose as well, and I found the downtime surprisingly short. You're perfectly okay after a few weeks, with minor swelling. The swelling makes you look like you had no nose job, but then once the skin wraps around the new underlying structure, the nose job will show. Takes months to a year to show final results.

That is an interesting comparison. Sometimes, I think her nose looks about the same but most of the time, in videos in such, I think it's really different. However I still see a difference in those pics, though the lighting really makes it hard to see the shape of her nose. I should make some comparison pics too, suggesting that she had recent rhinoplasty.

That causes facial distortions where the thing focused looks much larger. She has been taking so many pics lately with her nose as the center, making it look larger than it is. The photo on the right was probably done 15ft+ away. I'm studying photographer and for portraits we use "telephoto" lenses. We stand really far and zoom in so that we do not have the 'large nose' effect.


As for my 2 cents...

Have we all seem to forgot that Ayumi's face/nose used to look like this?



but now she's like...
