Almost 2yrs post surgery. Why is my nose and nostrils looking bigger? (Photo)

Question

Hello, I had surgery almost 2 years ago and my nose and nostrils are starting to look bulky and less defined. Why would this happen?! The left is shortly after the surgery, the right is now.

I believe that the earlier photo is containing more swelling at the bottom of your nasal tip, which is leading to a smaller nostril aperture. Your nostril margin is a drop high. If that is bothering you, and if you are looking to decrease your nostril show on profile, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon 1000 injections may be considered. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can see from your photo for get rid of this image I recommend you Revision rhinoplasty surgery.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best regards!

Overall you have an excellent result. I wonder if you have a cartilage graft in the columella which might cause some distortion and would be better off removed

It would be very difficult to conclude that there is difference between these two photos. It is possible that in-person evaluation would give a more accurate comparison?
