Will I need revision? Uneven nostril, hanging columella, deviated septum (Photo)

andreacarnNov 16, 2023
I’m in my late 20s, just had a rhinoplasty done in Seattle. I’m 2.5 months post-op, and I’m curious if I’m going to need revision surgery. I have hated the way my nose has looked ever since the cast came off. I’m trying to be patient with the swelling… but is there any professional advice or opinion someone could give me about whether or not it’s looking like I’ll need revision work?
