I'm about 3 and a half weeks out after my procedure. I had my nasal bones shaved on the sides, a deviated Septum fixed, swollen turbinates reduced, then spreader grafts to put in and help with the c shaped deviation I have, also had tip more defined. However after comparing photos I still see lots of crookedness in the middle vault of the nose where I still see a shaped deformity. Is my whole nose shifted off to one side of face also?what needs to be done to fix crookedness?
