Revision rhinoplasty - is this just swelling or is there a structural issue? (Photo)

Question

I had a revision rhinoplasty over six months ago and I feel like my nose is crooked, too short and very swollen in the lower third. Is this just swelling or is something wrong with my new nose?

Onur Gilleard, MBBS, FRCS(Plast) · Answer

There is a very minor C shaped axis deviation. Photos taken at such close up range will always show something that is not completely symmetrical. The tip of your nose looks aesthetically pleasing and the naso-labial angle is about 110 degrees. At 6 months you still will be a bit swollen and I definitely wouldn’t think about revision at this stage. The swelling will go down and your nose as such may get straighter and the tip may drop a few degrees to make it look longer. Give it a year and see how you feel would be my advice
