1 year post septorhinoplasty - What can be causing my nose to look wider? (photo)

November 15, 2022
Asked By:Intuitive827103 in England, United Kingdom

I had open septorhinoplasty almost a year ago, and my nose is a lot wider than it was pre procedure. At first I thought this could be swelling but the surgeon doesn’t now seem to think so. It doesn’t look good, my nose has no shape or definition. Does anyone know why this could be? I had an osteotomy. My surgeon said he’s not sure why it’s wider, and states he didn’t do anything to make it wider. It looks very uneven from the front. There is like a bubble round the area just above the tip
