I'm 3 months post op and know I need to wait a year before considering a revision. The tip of my nose is crooked it also leans towards the left, I have a small dent on the tip of my nose on the right, that side in general looks thinner than the left. Why is this? The swelling has reduced a lot since cast removal and the crookedness in the tip is only becoming more visible. I had a straight nose before, my nostrils are also uneven after this Rhinoplasty will this improve over time?
