Nose Clearly Still Deviates to the Same Degree 4 Weeks After Rhinoplasty

I had septorhinoplasty 4 weeks ago following recurrence of nasal obstruction after a septoplasty 5 years ago. My surgeon had not seen me since my initial consultation almost 2 years ago (NHS). When he came to see me pre-op he said he had no notes with him & to remind him of the problem. The problem is I think he thought I was referring to septal rather than overall left sided deviation. I am aware swelling can be an issue but the angle looks exactly the same. I'm due for review in 6 months.

I use a digital imaging computer in my nasal consultations to show my patients the proposed surgical results prior to surgery. Upon... more
