Are my uneven nostrils due to swelling? (Photos)

August 1, 2019
Asked By:acr534 in New York, NY

Hi, I already talked to my surgeon, but I wanted a second opinion. I am exactly 2 weeks post-op and of course still experiencing a ton of swelling. I've been taking arnica & bromelian religiously since I've been in recovery, but know that it just takes time & patience. I'm concerned though because my nostrils look really different and the middle almost looks like it's attached/healing crooked. Do you think it's just swelling?
