Uneven Nostrils and Nostril Indentation After Rhinoplasty
It's been 1 week since my rhinoplasty and septoplasty and my uneven nostrils have been driving me crazy. I had a wide bridge reduced and then my doctor the my doctor brought out my columella ever so slightly because he didn't want to shorten my nose. Can you tell if this is swelling that's waiting to go down and even itself out or will it remain as uneven as it looks.

Uneven nostrils after rhinoplasty.
It is too soon after your surgery and the swelling needs to go down before you can make any determination about the results--6-12 months.

Your uneven nostrils and indentation above your left nostril may just be swelling 1 week following Rhinoplasty Surgery.
The asymmtrical appearance of your nostrils is slight, and should not be problematic. The indentation above your left nostril (supra-alar crease) is likely more noticeable to you since your tip on the right may be slightly more swollen. Your nose looks good 1 week after nose job surgery. If you still see asymmetry in 6-8 weeks, this may be addressed with a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty procedure in the office. I prefer Silikon-1000 for permanent results.

Irregularity (indentation, lumps or bumps) of nose following rhinoplasty (nose job)
I can barely detect the asymmetry on the photo you have enclosed. Although you could consider revision, the outcome could be worse and I would not advise it. It is also possible that this early after surgery, your stitches or scars may be responsible for minor irregularity and it will improve with time ((6 months)
