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

Thank you for your question. 
With any nasal surgery, the name of the game is patience. At one week, we would expect you to have quite a bit of swelling and bruising still noticeable and may have trouble breathing out of one or both nostrils. By the end of two weeks, typically, you will still be swollen but look more like you have a bad cold, rather than post surgical. Swelling can take up to a year to be completely gone, however, by 9 weeks you will look very good and should see big difference from your pre-op pics.

Frontal preoperative photo is needed to compare the result. However, I notice there is asymmetry of nasal alae or nostrils with right side less developed and thinner than the left. I have come across several such pronounced asymmetry of the nostrils which congenital on origin meaning patients were born with it. Rhinoplasty will exaggerate this since other problems are gone. We have reduced and thinned out the opposite ala to achieve some symmetry. Best
