Crooked nose 4 weeks out? I had a septorhinoplasty 4 weeks ago.

Question

The doctor fixed the deviated septum, and corrected a hump and a hanging Collumella. He also very conservatively reduced the projection. The tip of my nose is very crooked and from the front it looks asymmetrical. Has it been long enough to start worrying it’s permanent? Bonus question: a puppy just bumped my nose on the tip side, it hurt quite a bit for a few minutes. Is there danger he displaced any structures?

You need to have patience with your body as it begins to heal. The skin, bone and cartilage are all traumatized during surgery. Inflammation (swelling) is the normal response and will help your nose to heal and look beautiful in the end. If, one year from now, you are unhappy with your nose, then that is the time to think about a revision procedure. Right now, concentrate on other things you like to do and let your nose take the time to heal. I hope this helps.
