Crooked Columella After Rhinoplasty, Nose Points to One Side? (photo)

Hi,

 

At this point in your recovery path, it is too early to assess the final results of you surgery; swelling will subside as nature takes its course.

I advise you to be patient and to follow your surgeon's instructions. Usually, it takes about 12 months for end results to be established.

Also, swelling occurs and then subsides at a different pace on the same nose.

Thank you for your inquiry.

The best of wishes to you.

Dr. Sajjadian

It appears that things are shifted to one side. This could be related to swelling. Discuss this with your surgeon

While swelling after a rhinoplasty is commonly asymmetric, it does appears from your photos that your septum is sitting to the right side of your nasal spine. It is possible that much more work was done in that area which is why it looks more swollen. At this point the only one who knows the answer is your surgeon. Tell him or her your concerns. They will know whether this is anything to be concerned about. You chose your surgeon based on expertise. Use that expertise to help put your mind at ease.
