Crooked nose 3 months after rhino/septoplasty. Is it swelling? (Photo)

Question

I had my surgery exactly 3 months ago to correct my septum and removed my dorsal hump. Although I am happy with my side profile I hate that my nose looks crooked :( does anyone have an recommendations? I really do not want to go through a revision. I've been trying to be patient as I've been told once the columella swelling goes down it will look way different. Any suggestions are welcomed :) I just hope it corrects itself!

Hello,Unfortunately it does not look like swelling, but instead persistent septal curvature causing bridge and tip deflection. It will not correct it self. I do not recommend filler, it will make you nose look straighter, but too bulky. I would wait the prescribed period and get a revision with a revision rhinoplasty specialist. Best of luck.

Only 2 options: Revision surgery at 6 to 9 months postop. Or a non surgical rhinoplasty with HA fillers now.
