2 months post op. Nostrils look uneven. Can that be fixed? Thanks
Answer: Nostril asymmetry after rhinoplasty
There does seem to be alar retraction on your right nostril margin. It's hard to know if this is from surgery without seeing preoperative photos, though.
There are ways of improving alar retraction, though I would wait at least 1 year from surgery before considering this. Your nose will continue to evolve over time.

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty: Uneven Nostrils Yes, you may get improvement with cartilage grafts placed along the nostril rims. However, do not expect perfectly symmetric nostrils as you will likely be dissapointed.

Answer: Alar retraction
ideally wait 10 - 12 months from the last surgery at which time you can have a minor revision (closed) with placement of a cartilage +/- skin graft to correct the retraction

Answer: You may be a candidate for a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty to improve the appearance of your nostril asymmetry following surgery.
I read your concerns and reviewed your photos. You appear to have excessive nostril retraction of your right nostril compared to your left. In my practice, asymmetries like this are corrected non-surgically using Injectable Fillers. My personal preference is to use Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results.
I attached a link to some photos on my RealSelf page demonstrating non-surgical nostril lowering.
I hope this is helpful for you.
Regards from NJ.

Answer: Nasal asymmetry
The key to any evaluation is to see your pre-op films and of course examine you in person as well. Good luck.
