Uneven Nostrils 6 Months After Rhinoplasty?
Hi there, about six months ago I had rhinoplasty done and recently I have noticed my nose leans off center, the the left side if the tip of my nose is very hard and the right side soft and also my nostrils are different sizes. I have seen my surgeon twice and he has put injections on the softer side but my concern is the tip and why one side is so pronouced.. is there normal at the six months stage?? thank you
