Rhinoplasty: Left Side of Nasal Type Feels Hard, Other Side Feels Soft?
So im 10 weeks post op. And my nose looks a tiny bit deviated to the left around the tip area. I have thick skin and my nose is really swollen. But when i touch the left side i can feel hardness. When I touch the right side it feels soft. Should i be worred about anything? Also my tip is still numb, and when i leave the shower my nose gets really red.

Asymmetric Swelling of Your Nose After Rhinoplasty is Common
It is common to sometimes have some asymmetric swelling of your nose after rhinoplasty surgery. Several factors affect this such as: what was performed, how extensive was the surgery, and/or what approach was used? In your case, how much tip work was performed? The numbness that you feel is also normal.
During your next post operative visit, it would be a good idea to bring up your concerns with your surgeon.
