I had my rhinoplasty on September 14th 2022, prior to this my nostrils were even and now they're noticeably odd. I have a feeling they're going to stay this way, and I'm going to have to have a revision

Answer: Rhinoplasty It is not uncommon for nostrils to appear uneven after rhinoplasty, especially in the early stages of the healing process. Swelling and bruising can also affect the appearance of the nostrils, making them look asymmetrical. It is important to give your nose time to heal before considering any revision surgery. Typically, it can take up to a year for the full results of a rhinoplasty to be visible, and some minor asymmetries may resolve on their own as the nose continues to heal. It is also important to communicate your concerns with your surgeon and have them evaluate your nose to determine the cause of the asymmetry and whether a revision is necessary. If a revision is recommended, your surgeon can discuss the best approach and the expected outcome with you. In the meantime, it is important to follow your surgeon's post-operative care instructions carefully, including avoiding strenuous activity, not blowing your nose, and keeping your head elevated while sleeping, to ensure the best possible outcome from your rhinoplasty. I hope this helps, best of luck!
