Asymmetrical Swelling or Bad Rhinoplasty?

July 11, 2011
Asked By:tryingtofindmyself in Sarasota, FL

I just had a rhinoplasty with septoplasty and turbinate reduction on June 21st. Now, it is 3 weeks later, and my nose looks REALLY crooked. The tip was definitely a looked crooked before surgery, but now it looks more so! And my tip is still rock hard and swollen. The doctor doesn’t seem worried, but I am. He gave my an injection in the tip at my 2-week check-up 5 days ago. I don’t notice any change yet.I am so sick about this. Professional opinions please?
