I had rhinoplasty/septoplasty may 15 2021 following surgery multiple steroid injections in between eyebrows but My nose doesn’t have a bump on bridge anymore. But looks very uneven and my tip looks odd. My doctor says it’s normal for one side to be bigger. Will it continually get better? I’m my 7 month mark. It looks so much worse than before

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. The length of the nose can be made shorter, and it can be lifted up a little. The tip can be better defined as well, all while keeping things looking natural. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation
