Uneven swelling after rhinoplasty? (Photo)

It's still too soon to tell what your final results will be. You need to have patience with your body as it begins to heal. The skin, bone and cartilage are all traumatized during surgery. Inflammation (swelling) is the normal response, which can be asymmetrical and will help your nose to heal and look beautiful in the end. If, one year from now, you are unhappy with your nose, then that is the time to think about a revision procedure. Right now, concentrate on other things you like to do and let your nose and under eyes take the time to heal. I hope this helps.

You may have slight asymmetry at your nasal tip, but 2.5 weeks is too soon to judge whether it may resolve. Certainly address your concerns with your surgeon, but we have seen minor tip and nostril asymmetry like yours disappear with healing. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Swelling can make the nose look uneven soon after the surgery. However, since your chin is slightly deviated to your left it seems that your surgeon tried to ling up your tip with the chin.. In general it works better to line up the tip with the rest of the nose and the upper lip. There is some asymmetry in the nose bones as well and that is what your surgeon probably is referring to. Some of that could still be swelling. Please try to be patient and discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
