I am getting increasingly worried that I have a pollybeak deformity, however it is only visible on one side, so it can't be a true pollybeak? It is only noticeable on the side with more swelling, the tip looks rounded, fat and makes the tip of my nose hook downwards. On the contrary, the other side of my nose is defined, a little pointed and slightly upturned. Does this sound like a pollybeak or purely swelling making it appear as such?
