Hello, I've had open Rhinoplasty roughly 3 weeks ago i still have a lot of swelling but whats bothering me a lot is the asymmetry in my nostrils thats clearly noticeable from the front and side views. Is this due to swelling?

Answer: Nostril asymmetry after nose job.
The most common cause of nostril asymmetry after surgery is nostril asymmetry prior to surgery. You may be noticing this more due to the amount of attention on your nose. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Hello,
Thank you for the question and photo. Nostril asymmetry, especially if mild, can be due to swelling. Since you are only 3 weeks after your surgery I would definitely wait longer to assess your final nostril symmetry.
All the best,
