Are very uneven nostrils from the cast tape? (Photos)

September 15, 2018
Asked By:chalique in California, CA

Got my cast off after 10 days and the nostrils were very asymmetrical. Day 13 now and it's still the same. My tip was taped under the cast and the tape became very loose on one of the sides of my tip, while there was still pressure on the other side. This began at day 3. I am scared that the cartilage has "set" unevenly because of it and created the asymmetry. Possible? If so, what should i do? My own surgeon is hard to contact directly unfortunately, therefore I am asking here. Thank you
