Uneven Swelling or Uneven Tip Cartilage? (Photos)

Hello! Thank you for your question.From the photos you provided (especially the one from down where we see the nostrils) it looks like there is cartilage sticking out from the right side of your tip. It doesn't look like swelling because you have thin skin as you said. In order to correct this and make the nostrils rounder (now it is too small), I would recommend you a revision rhinoplasty surgery.

In the early stages of the healing process after rhinoplasty, it's common to experience swelling, asymmetry, and changes in the appearance of the nose. It's important to keep in mind that every individual's healing process is unique, and it can take up to a year or more for the final results of rhinoplasty to fully manifest.

Uneven swelling can contribute to temporary asymmetry and changes in the shape of the nose, including the appearance of grooves or clefts. Cartilage manipulation during surgery can also affect the healing process and potentially contribute to changes in the shape and feel of the nose.

However, if you have concerns about specific changes or new developments in your nose, it's crucial to consult with your plastic surgeon. They will be able to evaluate your situation properly, examine your nose, and provide an accurate assessment. They have firsthand knowledge of your surgical procedure and can provide you with the best advice and guidance tailored to your specific circumstances.

Remember that it's normal to have questions and concerns during the healing process, and open communication with your surgeon is essential. They will be in the best position to address your concerns and determine if further intervention or additional healing time is necessary.
