I had a closed rhinoplasty and septoplasty three months ago and my nose looks like it is curving to one side of my face. Also, the bridge feels like the curved side is lower than the non-curved side. I am incredibly concerned that my nose will not straighten as this curve has been consistent since the surgery. When I asked my doctor about this he said it was only something that I was noticing. Please help advise if you think this will heal and if not what I should do.
