Why does my tip droop drastically when I turn my head to one side but not the other? (Photo)

kaitlyns387Jul 13, 2017

I had a rhinoplasty in October of 2016. I noticed immediately how much my nose droops to the left when I tilt my head, it does not do this when I tilt to the other side. I am terrified! Mostly because my doctor doesn't even notice it or may be pretending not to notice when I voiced my concerns. Any advice???? Please???

Hello and thank you for your question.  You appear to have asymmetry of the lower lateral cartilage.   Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty.
