One Nostril Looks a Lot Bigger Than the Other 5 Days After Rhinoplasty, is This Normal? (photo)

Yes, uneven swelling is completely normal, especially in the first few days after surgery. This is the most crucial recovery time and swelling is relatively more apparent in the days immediately following a nose job. Your condition is likely to work itself out and is not something to be worried about. Still, I would suggest that you consult the surgeon who operated on you to further discuss your individual case. 

It's easy to be anxious and nervous about your rhinoplasty result. It looks like your original surgical dressing is still in place and you still have post op swelling. Wait until the dressing is off and swelling subsided. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon during the next visit but remain patient. You nose will undergo quite a change after the surgery so don't judge it too early.

Best Wishes,

In the first several months after surgery, your nose will evolve as the swelling subside and the structural changes made during surgery settle in.  At this point I would recommend to wait longer before assessing the long-term shape of the nose.  When you see you surgeon, raise you concerns to him or her.  Most likely you will be advised to wait a bit longer.  Best of luck.
