I got a rhinoplasty back in January of 2023. I need someone to tell me if what I am seeing is normal looking or not. To me it looks messy and jagged on the right side but my surgeon said i'm expecting it to be perfectly symmetrical. Is that true? My right side never bothered me until now and I guess I didn't expect it to look like this?
