Hello, I had my nose done in September 2022 so I’m now 8 months post op from a rhinoplasty. My nose before surgery was extremely deviated to the left. After my rhinoplasty I now appear to have uneven nostrils and I feel this is making my nose look crooked, do you think this is swelling? My surgeon just said this depends on my facial structure but I didn’t have uneven nostrils before!

Answer: Post-op rhinoplasty Hello! Thank you for your question.From the photos you provided I cannot say if it still swelling or not because your tip looks very bulbous (and a bit droopy). Maybe it was your choice but the tip looks like it is not supported. Anyway you have thick skin so the swelling can be there for around 1 and a half years. Best regards!Prof. Dr. Selcuk Inanli

Answer: Postoperative swelling of the nose Thank you for your query! From your pictures, there does appear to be swelling of your nose, which is not unusual during your recovery. Some of the uneven/crooked look can be because of this. Your surgeon may advise some exercises or other measures to reduce the swelling. Some surgeons also advise nasal retainers/dilators for your nostrils which can help. Please discuss all your concerns with your surgeon and follow his/her advice as it does take a full year for the nose to attain its final shape. All the best!
