Intelligent801672Feb 12, 2023

Hi! I had a rhinoplasty exactly a year ago so id say my healing is all done and this is my final nose. Before my rhinoplasty I didnt notice any uneven nostrils, however after my surgery one nostril is widee than the othee. i didnt get my nostrils done at all during surgery so I dont see why theyd suddently b different? Is it because my nose tip has been propped up more and its now changed the way it sits? The nostril thats wider now is alao more thick.

In person exam is essential as well as review of your op-report and pre-op photos. Based on limited photos - it appears that improvements can be achieved through a closed technique. I suggest that you consult with an experienced Board Certified PS
