Why are my nostrils uneven after rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Hello,Many different reasons can cause uneven nostrils. One common reason is swelling after a rhinoplasty. I recommend you reaching out to your board certified facial plastic surgeon for a post-op consultation. All the best,Deepak Dugar, MDScarless Rhinoplasty ExpertBeverly Hills, CA 90210

It is difficult to answer the question based on limited information, nostril asymmetry could be due to various reasons, some of them related to nostril itself and some of the due to asymmetric nose or septal deviation.

Without further information, it is impossible to answer this question. When was your surgery, what approach was utilized, what extent of surgery did you have, what was your pre-OP appearance of the nostrils, etc.? Only your surgeon has the answers to some of these questions. You should definitely follow-up with your surgeon as the nasal appearance and healing can be influenced even after surgery through compression exercises, steroid injections, taping, etc. However, don't do anything to your nose unless specifically instructed by your surgeon. Nostril asymmetry after surgery can be temporary from asymmetric swelling, or permanent from asymmetric positioning of cartilage grafts or of the nasal tip cartilages. Hope that helps. Best wishes!
