Over the course of the past six months my nose has changed shape on its own. My right nostil is now bulged out and becoming more defined whereas my left nostil has remained unchanged. I'm only 21 years old and haven't had any recent facial truama. I do have sinus inflamation problems and recently started using a nasal spray to open my airways. But how is it possible and why did my nose change so dramatically in appearance the past few months? It's not symetrical anymore and starting to worry me.

Hello, and sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing. In general, the minimum recommended age to have rhinoplasty is as follows: 1) Girls - 15 years old2) Boys - 16 years oldI would recommend seeking the advice of a board certified rhinoplasty specialist. I hope this helps, and I wish...
To the extent that your nose will be a bit smaller, you might think that your cheeks are more noticeable. If you think your cheeks are too large now, then you might think they look larger afterwards. No one can predict this.
It is safe to fly before your surgery. We have many patients that fly in for their surgery in our practice, stay in town for one week, and then fly home. For many before-and-after closed rhinoplasty examples, please see the link below to our rhinoplasty photo gallery
