Dear doctors, Please advise whether or not in your professional opinion my asymmetry will improve overtime. I had a rhinoplasty done to fix my deviated septum and bulbous tip, however, i am now left with severe asymmetry on the left side of my nose. I also seem to have a bone sticking out that i did not have before. My surgeon suggests waiting a few months, however, i do not think it will improve, what do you think based on your professional experience?
