My nostrils flare out and my nose appears to be crooked after septorhinoplasty. Is this normal because of swelling? (Photo)

Asked By:banessaten96 in Allentown, PA

I had a deviated septum and a large hump on my nose. Before the surgery (3 months ago, July 3rd) I was told that he would just take the hump away and make everything else look very natural. I look at myself and feel like I don't look natural at all. I was supposed to feel more confident but all I want to do now is hide my face. Is the crookedness and nostril flaring because of swelling? I never had nasal flaring or crookedness this bad. I feel like when I smile it shifts to one side. Ugh.
