I had rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago. I think that my nose is too short and looks piggy. Also my left profile looks different from the right one. I feel like the surgeon reduced a lot from tip. What could be done to make my nose looks more natural? Do you think that making my tip a little bit longer would help? Thank you for your answers

Answer: Recovering from rhinoplasty: evaluating your result. Rhinoplasty is a surgery to improve the shape of your nose for breathing or appearance.Recovering from rhinoplasty is a healing process. Part of that process is waiting for swelling to go down. One side may calm down before the other. Until that swelling settles, it would be difficult to make a clear assessment of your outcome. Please be patient before looking into revision for a safe and happy outcome. Safety comes first.

Answer: Piggy Nose Your concern is real in that your tip is too rotated creating a 120 degree nasolabial fold; ideally a 105 degree is most appropriate for most female patients; the shorter you are, the higher the angle, and the taller you are the smaller the angle. A consultation with a nose specialist would be very helpful. Unfortunately, surgery to derotate your nose is more complicated and often requires an organ donated rib cartilage graft which will be placed in front of your septum, called a septal extension graft.
