Uneven nostril heights (not size) after rhinoplasty. What can be done to make them even? (Photo)

Asked By:kpopXXX in Minneapolis, MN

It's almost been 6 weeks since my rhinoplasty(bridge, tip, alar reduction) and my nostrils are different heights. They both seem the same size but from the frontal view they are different heights and it's very noticeable. I understand I'm only about 6 weeks out but I noticed this from day 1. Overall it has not improved at all. At first I thought it was the way the nose cast was sitting on my nose but once that came off I had to rule that reasoning out. What can be done to make them even?
