Hi, I had a septorhinoplasty about six months ago and it appears that my nose is not completely straight. The left side (facing the picture) looks puffier than the other side; that was the side where my septum was deviated. I had a S-shaped septum. Will it look better/more straight over time? Thanks.

Answer: Swelling post nasal surgery.
Swelling will not be greatly diminished until you are approximately 12 months after the surgery. You do need to have your Plastic Surgeon see you periodically, certainly to answer your questions as you raise these issues with your doctor Keep observing the differences as you heal and continue to discuss gthis with your Plastic Surgeon.
Good luck.

Answer: Still swollen
Not only is your nose still swollen, but also swelling is not necessarily symmetrical. You should talk to your surgeon.
