Your help and expert input will be appreciated, as this has become a huge concern after my primary rhinoplasty. I am now >6 months post surgery, and I continue to have bruising around my eyes particularly on the upper eyelids, this is not isolated to one side. Furthermore, after surgery, I notice that my eyes have a very sunken look to them, almost a sagging beneath the orbital with some bruising. Also, my eyes tend to feel and get tired often.

A rocker deformity refers to a movable bone segment, and your problem is with a ridge or bone edge along the left bridge. If visible, or uncomfortable, your surgeon should be able to smooth it out after six months or more.

Long nostrils are usually due to having a long nasal tip. Surgery can be done to improve this, of course, but the exact technique(s) used vary depending on your specific anatomy.
Visit with a surgeon board certified to do rhinoplasty to find out what your options are. In the meantime...
Increased scar tissue that build up over the nasal cartilages just above the tip making the tip appear thick and wider after a Rhinoplasty. Thick, oily skin is the most prone.
