Nose looks crooked. 7 almost 8 weeks post rhinoplasty! (Photo)

Question

I am 7 weeks post op and from what I can observe - my nose seems crooked! My nose tip doesn't seem to align with the rest of my nose. I am not sure if it's to early to judge the results but I am concerned. This was my number 1 fear when I decided to go forward with this surgery and now it's becoming such a problem. I am considering revision based on the concerns I have expressed above. Thank you-

Thanks for your question. It seems you still have a significant amount of swelling, which may be way there is asymmetry. Be patient... It is too early to judge the results of your procedure.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

It looks as though there may be more swelling on the right side than the left contributing to the crooked appearance of the nose. Continue to remain patient and discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Thanksasymmetry is unlikely to be due to swelling on one side! An osteotomy of your right nasal bone via closed approach will address your concern but I would wait until full healing process in about 9-12 months time!BWJ TaheryOtolarhngologist/Facial Plastic SurgeonChesterUK

You are likely still very swollen. This may improve with time. Always best to follow with your surgeon. Good luck.
