My nose is crooked 8 months after open rhinoplasty. It was straight when the splint was removed. Is this permanent? (Photo)

Asked By:Nola87 in New Orleans, LA

Surgery was 9/22/15 (rhinoplasty, septoplasty, turbinate reduction) When the splint was removed it looked very straight and within an hour or so it began to look crooked. I called my doctor freaking out and was told that it was uneven swelling. I have been trying to be patient but I am now concerned this is my permanent result. It does seem like the bone structure of my nose is straight because the bigger side is soft. Is there anything short of revision surgery that can be done at this point?
