I am an 18 year old female with white skin and is 5’4. I weigh 110 pounds. Immediately after my cast removal I noticed something was wrong. One side looks more caved in than the other but both sides are pretty pinched. My doctor said that this is because “the skin is still stuck together” but after intensive research I can tell that he might have taken too much cartilage. When I smile it looks like my nostrils separate from the rest of my bridge and my breathing has become way worse.

Answer: Nasal Revision Hi Tia! Sorry that you're experiencing trouble with your rhinoplasty. At 2 months, it's very early in the healing process and much will continue to change (hopefully, in the right direction). Was the procedure performed open or closed? Sometimes, too much cartilage is removed leading to a pinched look and this can significantly affect breathing. Although it's difficult, continue follow-up with your surgeon as your nose heals. After 8-12 months, revisions can be considered. Best of luck to you!
