Uneven, droopy nostrils 3 and half weeks post rhinoplasty, what can be done to resolve this problem? (Photos)

Asked By:katiett2 in Orange County, CA

Recently when I was taking photos of my nose, I noticed on one side (my right side) of my nostrils is more droopy and longer and even wider, much more significant swelling than the left. I'm really scared that it's going to permanently stay like that. I'm not considering revision rhinoplasty either. Is there anything I can do to resolve this problem?
