I had a rhinoplasty less than a year ago and although I understand that healing takes up to a year or even more and during that time your nose changes a lot, I’ve noticed a few things that i know are not due to swelling 1. the most obvious flaw are my nostrils. they are uneven and the left one even looks collapsed 2. the left side of my nose goes in more than the other which again makes it look like it’s collapsed from one side 3. the left nostril is wider and pokes out more than the right?? :(
