One nostril is larger than the other after rhinoplasty. Is this normal?

  Swelling is never symmetrical, and it is common for post op rhinoplasties to be concerned about uneven swelling. Just be patient and give it some time.

During the early part of healing the swelling in the nose can make 1 nostril appear larger than the other.You have to give it at least 6 weeks before evaluating the symmetry of nostrils.RegardsDr. J

Thank you very much for enquire.It's too early to make value judgments with only ten days after a rhinoplasty.Swelling after a rhinoplasty depends of the surgery complexity.In this regard, the nasal swelling Post-op It can last from two weeks to two months.To reduce this swelling, I recommend you perform delicates daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the face (around the nose) avoid sun exposure, and take pain/inflamation pills, as your surgeron precribe you.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

By your description it sounds like swelling. If the nostrils were not reduced in any way, then they are likely not going to be any more different than they were preop.
