Have Asymmetrical Nasal Bones, One Side is Pushed Out, What is the Solution?

Question

I have had a septorhinoplasty done in which the surgeon just corrected the septum, second time he corrected nasal tip and hump was removed but asymmetry of nasal bones was not corrected at all. One side of nasal bone looks bigger and bulging than the other side from front. He says he did osteotomy on that side but i can feel the broken bone only at the part where the hump was. How can this asymmetrical nasal bone be corrected?

Without seeing pictures it would be hard to adequately answer your question. Nevertheless, in general, it is reasonable to correct a bulging or asymmetric nasal bone with an osteotomy.

You provide a good description of your concerns, however, without photos it will be difficult to provide you with an accurate solution to your problem. I would address the concerns about your nose with you surgeon. If you have lost confidence, then perhaps a second opinion is warranted. Thank you for sharing your question. Best wishes.
