A: Crooked Nose after Rhinoplasty

Richard W. Fleming, MD

You are only one month after extensive rhinoplasty. It is normal to have residual swelling at this time. The resolution of that swelling is frequently asymmetrical, giving the illusion of a crooked nose. In six to eight months you'll know if this is just temporary. Keep in touch with your surgeon.  

A: "Crookedness" after rhinoplasty not normal.

George J. Beraka, MD

Hi!   Your nose does look a little asymmetric (crooked), but it has only been one month since surgery.  So be optimistic.   It may resolve.  If it looks crooked in 6 months, and it really bothers you, then you may need a revision.
