Is it normal for a nose to look obviously asymmetrical and for one nostril to be higher and larger than the other 7 weeks after Rhinoplasty? Is this type of asymmetry normal? Is there hope to fix this and if so how soon and does anyone have an idea of the cost?

Answer: Asymmetric After Rhinoplasty If we look carefully, there is always asymmetry in even the best looking noses. After surgery swelling may go down faster on one side than the other, and the differences narrow over time. It should take 6-12 months for the swelling to diminish. If after that time there is still marked asymmetry then you should meet with your surgeon and consider whether any further steps are necessary.

Answer: It is too soon to say. This is usually due to swelling and will return to normal in 6-12 months. Be patient and if you are still concerned after that time, return to your surgeon or get a second opinion from an experienced revision rhinoplasty expert.
