Nose is wider than before rhinoseptoplasty (Photo)

April 3, 2018
Asked By:nanialiiw in Portland, OR

I had a rhinoseptoplasty as well as a turbinate reduction. They used a closed technique, went in through my nostrils and reduced dorsal hump while in there. My surgeon said there might be a chance my nose may appear thinner than before. Since the surgery my nasal bones have been far wider than usual and one side of my nose is far more swollen than the other. I’m worried my nose isn’t healing correctly and will be wider than before. I know it takes a while to heal but I'm still concerned.
