Nose looks worse 4 months after rhinoplasty. Will it improve or should I get a revision? (Photo)

Asked By:moxy07 in Anchorage, AK

I’m four months post-op after having an open rhinoplasty. Unfortunately my nose tip/frontal view isn’t an improvement at all. It looks puffier, uneven, and the nostril on the right shows more. My nose feels normal so I would think there is no more swelling. Is there any chance for a big improvement to happen in the next eight months or should I seriously consider getting a revision?
