Is this uneven swelling or is my nose still deviated after rhinoplasty? (photos)

Question

I am 2 months and 17 days post op. I had surgery to fix a deviated septum and to fix the overall outside appearance since my nose was tilted to the left. I am concern that my nose might still be crooked and I might need a revision.

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Swelling of the nose after rhinoplasty takes one year to resolve. Until then tried to be patient as the nose will becomes smaller and more symmetrical every month.

Yes I see the indented right side. I might try a filler on that side to make it look more even... Best to discuss in person with your surgeon..//

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD · Answer

Asymmetric swelling is not unusual after a rhinoplasty.  You should see some improved symmetry over the next several months.
