Asked By:Nance345

Hello! I had a rhinoplasty 6 months ago, i really like how it looks on the side view but the front looks a bit wonky to me. My nostrils are a different size and shape, and also my nose is shifted slightly to one side, my tip is very hard and the scars inside my nose (columella) are still swollen, will this go down? Is my nose crooked and the nostrils because of the columella scars inflammation? Thank you very much!
