Why do I have these slits at the bottoms of my nostrils after my rhinoplasty? (Photos)

Asked By:Compassionate477905 in England, United Kingdom

It looks very weird and unnatural. I have these slit/cut like shapes at the bottom of my nostrils and they became apparent 1 month after my closed rhinoplasty. They make my nostrils look big from the side and i’m concerned. The alar is also asymmetrical, right side wider than the left, is this likely to stay?
