Hello, I have a rhinoplasty scheduled and got my blood test back. It indicated I have an absolute eosinophil count of 680 however, everything else is within normal limits and is fine.

Thank you for your time! Lee

In order to complete the recovery of nasal bone and soft tissues, you should wait 1 year after facial trauma. If the surgery is performed before completing the nasal bone recovery, the bone deformity possibility is high.

As far as I can see from the photos you've sent, there is an asymmetry in your nasal wings and an irregularity in the cartilage tissue. The most effective method I can recommend for solving this situation is atraumatic, Preservation Rhinoplasty for your nose surgery.
