i think your nose looks perfect. ive had mines done (4mths ago) and my septum looks twisted,its like left side of septum is normal and softening up,the right parts pulled down making me look abnormal and my nostrils are completely different.looks like can fit 50p up one side and a cotton bud up other nostril.hopefully its just scar tissue and will even out. but you look great.
