Crooked nose and uneven nostrils
It is always premature to judge the results of cosmetic nose surgery only weeks after the surgery. It is also difficult to make any comment on the shape of your nose without photographs of your nose before the surgery. However from the photographs it seems that you have a bulbous, trapezoidal shaped tip with round shaped nostrils. I can't detect any surgical incisions around the tip of your nose so I assume that you had a 'closed' rhinoplasty. In my opinion I think an 'open' rhinoplasty is...

2 Weeks after Rhinoplasty and Nostril Asymmetry
Whenever the tip is reduced and elevated as it was in your case (it already looks markedly better at 2 weeks), the nostrils become more noticeable and previous nostril asymmetry becomes more noticeable. The symmetry you have at 2 weeks will change as the swelling comes down, and you are too early to make any definitive judgements. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

After rhinoplasty concerns
You are still very early in the healing process. It takes 3 months for most of the swelling and 1 year for all of the swelling to resolve. Hang in there and discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Still very early in the swelling/healing phases. Allow 3 months before thinking about revision for your nose at 9 months to a years from surgery.

Post Rhinoplasty Concerns
Dear Rita, You still have a lot of swelling in your nose and especially in your tip. I would see your surgeon and discuss your concerns as he/she will know best what was done during your procedure and where you are in the recovery phase. Hopefully this will set your mind at ease.

Rhinoplasty and nostrils
It is always best to see pre-op photos and compare them to now. I will say that you are very swollen and things will change a lot over the next several months.

Early Rhinoplasty Results
The first thing you have to realize that it takes months and even a year after rhinoplasty to see the final result. At just two weeks after surgery, you have a long way to go in the recovery process. I know it is difficult but it is important to not obsess over what you see now because it will most likely change.
