Hello. On the left, it is not swollen, I can feel my bone when I run my finger along my nose. On the right side, the "squishy layer" is so thick, I feel a swollen layer, I don't feel my bone when I run my finger along the nose, and my nose is so numb. It is causing the bridge to looks wider on this side. When I push gently, my bones feel symmetrical though. I slept and laid down on the right side, it may be the reason why. Bruising was also considerably worse on this side. Will it get better?

Smiling and laughing is a good thing! don't be worries about changing the final result, you may have just stretched the area which is why you felt some pressure.
Hello,
These terms can be used interchangeably. I would call it ski slope nose (non-intentional). I would wait until all has healed (6-9 months at least) and if you still want corrective surgery, fillers or cartilage grafts can be considered.
Make sure your nose is lubricated appropriately with Vaseline and saline rinse. Still should wait a full year but your breathing issues may persist. You can also email me pictures privately.
