Asymmetric nostrils & crooked columella, what do you think about my rhinoplasty? (Photos)

Question

Gentle Doctors, I had rhinoplasty surgery 6 months ago. I've noticed a few things that I don't like,first of all the asymmetry of the nostrils (The left nostril seems swollen inside). Do you think a secondary intervention is needed? in addition, the columella seems crooked Thanks for your attention Best regards

Based on your photos, you appear to have some nostril asymmetry where you're right nostril margin appears a bit higher than your left. This is the main issue that is bothering you, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe considered for lowering your right nostril margin and achieving improved symmetry of the base of your nose. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Your nostril asymmetry is within normal limits, since there's no perfect nose. The biggest issue you have is your hanging columella. Once that is reduced, it will probably help straighten it as well. Best to wait at least one year after your primary rhinoplasty to undergo revision
