Does something look off with my nose or is it just me? (Photo)

Question

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? I also have one big bump on the middle of my bridge and a few small ones of the left side of my bridge. is that normal? please someone let me know.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may have some asymmetry of the dorsal aesthetic lines.  This can be improved with placement of spreader if you elect to undergo a revision. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Based on your photos, you appear to have very thin nasal skin. Thin nasal skin easily shows small irregularities after rhinoplasty surgery. If you are noticing small edges of cartilage, or perhaps a c-shaped nasal appearance, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections may be considered for achieving a straighter and less bumpy nasal appearance. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Revision rhinoplasty is more difficult than a primary rhinoplasty, therefore a full set of facial photographs from all angles are required to make a determination about how best to proceed. You appear to have a wide bony nasal bridge line, and a concave upper lateral cartilage on your left side. Copies of the operative report would be helpful to find out what was accomplished in the first procedure, in addition to knowing how much cartilage is left over on the inside of your nose for grafting purposes.
