Upturned Nose and Nostril Asymmetry During Rhino Healing - Beverly Hills, CA

It is more than a year later and I had gone back to the same surgeon for a minor revision to the surgery due to asymmetry in the nostrils (back in September 2012). The tip rotated back down as the swelling subsided, thankfully. It projects a little higher than it used to but that's ok. It took me some time to adjust to this, I wasn't completely in love with the outcome initially, but I have actually grown to like it.

I went back a couple months ago for a revision as there was still some nostril asymmetry. I am happy that this last revision resolved the asymmetry. My big lesson from all of this is: if your nose isn't perfect but isn't too bad to begin with, don't try to make it perfect.

Hello, things are improving slowly and my nose tip is not so rotated upward. I am so relieved! My nostrils are still asymmetrical however, but I am hopeful that this will change with time. My nose is still sore when I laugh or bite into things like sandwiches, but to me this is a sign that I am still healing and have to just be patient. My surgeon is actually a very responsive and nice person. I have great trust that this story will end well and I will be happy with the results.
