I am 6 months post op on an upper lip lift. I love the lip lift but do not like how it has changed my nose at the bottom. Specifically, my nose appears wider along the incision line with it looking wider, and one nostril is visibly much higher than the other. My nose is also now veering to the left, which it did not previously do. I was happy with my nostrils prior to surgery, so this is a little disappointing even though I am happy with my lip lift result to my lips...just not my nostrils.Costs?

Nasal hump and polybeak deformity after rhinoplasty. Yes you appear to have a residual hump and poly beak deformity which will require a revision rhinoplasty. Wait three months more before having the surgery and then return to your surgeon or get a second opinion from a revision rhinoplasty...
Fortuanately, it's unusual for a fracture to occur after surgery. You would likely see the difference fairly quickly if you had a new injury deformity
You may want to soften the scabs with aquaphor or a moisturizer. Consult and trust your surgeons advice and guidance. All sensations are normal for many months.Best wishes
