A nose can be out of proportion with the remainder of the face. If you have a long face, a short nose in the middle can look awkward.

You likely won't harm the physical outcome of your recent rhinoplasty operation. It is common to have a lot of emotional ups and downs early on after cosmetic surgery. But frequent crying spells and not having a good support system is worrisome. If you don't have anyone else to turn to for...
Hi and thanks for your question. I agree that there is a difference in your eyelids and you have some deviation of your nose. I also need for you to understand that symmetry in the human being does not exists. There will always be differences between the right and let, particularly in the face....
