Nostrils Two Different Sizes After Rhinoplasty

It is difficult to render a professional opinion without examining your nose or having a picture to visualize it. Based on your descriptions, there remains some degree of symmetry in your nostrils after your recent rhinoplasty surgery. I would recommend you to wait for at least one month until majority of swelling has subsided, then if there is any asymmetry talk to your rhinoplasty surgeon.  Good luck and good healing.

It is entirely possible that the swelling you are experiencing after your rhinoplasty is normal. However, very disparate nostrils may need to be addressed although no revision surgery should be performed until approximately one year after your initial surgery if it is indeed necessary. I would discuss your concerns with your rhinoplasty surgeon.

This can be swelling which takes 6-12 months to go away. Ask your surgeon when you see him for follow up.

From what i can see your result seems good. It is very common for nose surgery patients to be over critical in the post op period. You need to wait perhaps as long a a year. Please return to your surgeon with these questions>

You do have swelling 1 month after rhinoplasty, especially if cartilage grafts were placed. You will see many changes over the next year; hopefully symmetry will improve. It is too soon to evaluate your result.
