Nose Looks Very Deviated After Revision Septorhinoplasty. Is It Swelling?
I'm 2 weeks post op from a revision rhino. The 1st 3 photos are current, the 4th is 9 months after primary, which left my nose deviated to the left. The revision also refined the tip and moved the bones in more on the right. Still lots of swelling of course but the nose seems deviated just the same was it was before! Very concerned and unhappy about it. A separate ENT dr. said my septum looks straight. My PS thinks it's swelling but offered to do surgery and double check in 3 days. Please advise

Deviated Nose 2 Weeks after Revision
It is impossible to judge the final nasal appearance 2 weeks after surgery. At present, it does appear that your nose is deviated, but I don't recommend any surgical intervention at this time. It is best to wait at least another 6-9 months before having another revision. I'm sorry about your unfortunate experience, but you want the next surgery, if necessary, to be your last. Other opinions may be helpful.

Perstistent nasal deviation after revision rhinoplasty

Nose deviation
Yes, it looks like your nose is still deviated to oine side in the photos. The septal certilage is causing this for you.

Deviated Nose after Rhinoplasty
I agree that your nose is still deviated to the left. The nose can be deviated for several reasons. In my experience the septum is the most common reason, however asymmetric alignment of the tip cartilages or tip grafts can also create asymmetry.
