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

Hi! Things are improving on my end as I heal, happy to report. The tip of my nose is relaxing so that it is not as rotated upward. However, I still have asymmetrical nostrils and when I take a big bite of food or laugh hard, my nose hurts. I think this means that I am still healing and just need to be patient. @stillhateit - you should at this point consider revision surgery. Life is too short to be so unhappy about the way you look if it is impacting your confidence and undermining your outlook. Take care and good luck.

@look123- good luck! Please let me know how it goes and how long it takes for you to heal.

Hi all. I had minor rhino (2 hr procedure) about 20 days ago. My only request was to narrow the width. Unfortunately my nose seems a little shorter and the tip is rotated upward. Initially, I looked like Miss Piggy right after the procedure, but I knew it was due to the swelling. To top it off, I had a sinus infection. So I was feeling REAL good. Anyhow, good news is the swelling has gone down so my nose tip is straighter. I am missing my old nose, however- it was more exotic looking, even though it was wider than I would have liked. Right now, the issue I am dealing with is symmetry of the nostrils. They are not completely even. Sigh- just regretting that I had to mess with what God and my lovely parents gave me. I hope this story ends well!
