Hi everyone, I got a rhinoplasty done January 24, 2024. Fast forward to today (7 months later), August 23, 2024, my nose looks uneven. I’m concerned that my nose will continue to look this way. I did get a steroid injection at month 4 since my swelling was pretty bad due to thick skin on the tip. Should I ask my surgeon for another steroid shot? If you see the picture, my right side seems more flat compared to my left. I have 1 year post op to tell him of any issues.. so I’d like to get input

Hi, It is better for you to consult with your facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on examination. No restrictions, you can do it whenever you like.
In our clinic, what I would neither perform nor recommend in general is filler. Each surgeon will have their own view and opinion on this and it may be best to discuss with your doctor.
Filler may bring balance to uneven topography of the cheek area, which could positively affect your outcome...
Hello. You are very right in your analysis. The dorsum of cartilage on the top of your nose is not very large, so you do not have an arched nose. However, the lower 1/3 cartilage structures are saggy and bulgy, so your nose looks big. You can get the image you want with the tipplasty process...
