Hello, thank you for the question and provided information. You have not mentioned about when were you operated, if havent completed at least year after operation you have edema and swelling as a part of your healing, the way it looks might be due to swelling. Best Regards,

Dear Sancho, If your breathing function is fine and the slight tip asymmetry does not bother you then I would say don't do anything. The asymmetry that you see appears to be more an issue with the cartilages and not a result of the fracture. An in office consultation aided with an intra nasal examination would be needed for further expert opinion. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
