How to describe this problem after primary rhinoplasty?

Asked By:Thoughtful301713 in San Francisco, California

I hadopen primary rhino with alar base reduction with a wonderful surgeon. But after the procedure, my nostrils differ from each other especially as the swelling goes down. The right nostril is ok but the left one is being pulled up. From the bottom view, the columella is tilting to the right. I really admire my surgeon, he has a great artistic eye but I’m having a hard time finding the exact words to describe these issues to him. What words should I use to articulate so he understands me?
