How can I correct my nostril asymmetry after Rhinoplasty? (photos)

Thank you very much for enquire.It's too early to make value judgments with only 6 weeks after a rhinoplasty.Swelling after a rhinoplasty depends of the surgery complexity.In this regard, the nasal swelling Post-op It can last from two weeks to two months.To reduce this swelling, I recommend you perform delicates daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the face (around the nose) avoid sun exposure, and take pain/inflamation pills, as your surgeron precribe you.If after 6 months post op you keep the asymmetry i recommend you a secondary rhinoplasty.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

At 6 weeks your tip is still swollen as you can tell by the numbness and stiffness you may feel in the tip tissues. For this reason you should wait to see how things progress.  You do not necessarily have to wait 1 year for a revision if the asymmetry persists and the swelling has resolved.  An open rhinoplasty revision to visualize the tip cartilages and determine the cause of the asymmetry would be required if this persists. 

Dear ccox4270,Thank you for your question as this is a common one. It is
not uncommon for asymmetric swelling after rhinoplasty surgery. Considerable changes
are observed between days 80-90 as lymphatics improve in their drainage. Simply
stated - things appear to be fine, but attention should be directed towards
your primary physician in this process.

Be healthy and be well,
