Hello doctors, I had a revision rhinoplasty done 4.5 months ago.. and my nostrils are so uneven. They were not like this when I got my cast off or before rhinoplasty. Why did this happen? Is it swelling? Will it go away? Also, at almost 5 months post opp of a revision rhinoplasty how much swelling do I likely have, in general, and is what I see now close to my final result or will it change a lot? I loved my nose sooooo much when I got my cast off but it has changed.
