I had a open rhinoplasty about 1 month ago and now my nostrils are different. The left size looks like the surgeon cut more than the right. There is a big difference from the front view even the profile view. Should I consider a revision? I had told my surgeon several times that the nostrils looks so different, but he said it is still swollen. My nose look deformed in the front profile. Will it heal and become symmetrical nostrils or is it because of the placing of my alars on the sides?

Based on your photos, it seems like open roof deformity, but to diagnose only can be done after detailed adequate examination, and if so, Revision Rhinoplasty is needed.
Kindly Regards,
You are still very early in the healing process and you will see continued improvement in the appearance as time progresses. Swelling and healing can take a full year to resolve after this surgery so try to be patient as your body recovers.
Thanks for your question. Having some changes in your skin after rhinoplasty is not too unusual. I typically recommend that our patients see an aesthetician for a hydra facial treatment. Good luck as you heal!
