Is this a normal amount of tip asymmetry that I should be satisfied? (Photo)

Asked By:freiheit in Chicago, Illinois

My nostril base was not moved up/down during my primary surgery. I am very self conscious of the asymmetry but don’t know if it’s worth making a consultation or I’ll be brushed off for it being within “normal” limits of asymmetry.

I’m one year post op and one side of my nose looks horrible. Do I need a revision or is it swollen? (Photo)
Eric M. Joseph, MD says:

Based on your photos, you appear to have a nice result! And your tip does appear a bit swollen, likely since you have relatively thick nasal skin. In many instances, slight nostril asymmetry may be addressed permanently with microdroplet Silikon1000. The goal would be to lower your left nostril...
