Please see pictures. Yes, my nose is huge and unrefined (not what was originally planned) but I'm asking about the asymmetry. My pre-op nose was very smooth looking but now I have unpleasant shadows, hollow (where the black arrow is pointed at in the picture). Thank you!

Answer: Probably not swelling At 11 months, there should be really no visible swelling remaining. What you see is probably the final result. The depression that you are looking at is 'inverted V' deformity which occurs if the upper lateral cartilages collapse a little bit. It this bothers you, talk to your surgeon or seek another consultation. It can be improved surgically if you decided to.

Answer: 11 months after rhinoplasty, now with asymmetries The limited photographs demonstrate an outwardly displaced nasal bone, and an inwardly displaced upper lateral cartilage creating the step off deformity. There is also a hanging columella present. A revision rhinoplasty can accomplish improvement both of these issues. To narrow the outwardly displaced nasal bone will require an osteotomy. A spreader graft will most likely be needed for the inwardly displaced upper lateral cartilage. A columella-plasty will be required to reduce the hanging columella which involves removal of skin and cartilage from the caudal septum. Revision rhinoplasty is more difficult than a primary rhinoplasty, so choose your second surgeon wisely. For many examples and more information, please see link and the video below
