Hello, I had my rhinoplasty 6 months ago, and i'm worried my nose is crooked at the tip. my nostrils are also uneven. my nose looked straighter right after cast removal, so i'm wondering if this is just swelling thats causing the asymmetry. I have medium-thick skin.

Answer: Crooked tip and asymmetric nostrils Although you have swelling and would need a full year to heal, you'll need a revision of your tip to align the cartilages. This will create symmetry to both tip and nostrils. Dr. Naseri at Fayy Health can help you find a good surgeon.

Answer: Nostril asymmetry Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you do appear to have asymmetry in the nostrils, particularly in the soft triangle areas. Sometimes this can improve as the swelling resolves but in your situation, it may not. I would recommend maintaining close follow up with your surgeon. If your surgeon is not able to help, then I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.
