Uneven Nostrils and Bulbous Tip After Cast Removal

Summertime_1Apr 6, 2011
I had revision rhinoplasty & septoplasty 8 days ago to deproject my nose, straighten the septum and to make my nostrils smaller. I had the cast removed yesterday & I am mostly happy with the results but I am concerned that my nostrils are somewhat uneven & the tip is quite bulbous. Would it be correct to say that the assymetry of the nostrils is from swelling? thank you for reading.

Yes it can be done, but you need to find a skilled nasal surgeon to perform this as grafting along the floor of the nose and septum must be performed to be able to build a stable platform to increase your projection and de-rotate the tip of your nose. Michel Siegel, MD
