Nose looks more swollen 6 months after rhinoplasty?

ninaninasSep 28, 2023
I got rhinoplasty in March, I had a double deviated septum and was mainly concerned about my flared nostrils. The first few photos were taken 1 month in and Iwas swollen but I loved that my nose looked small and thin most days. Then about 3 months in, my nose was even more swollen. Now i’m 6 months out and I feel like it’s bigger and my nostrils are not the same shape anymore. I’m afraid this is a bigger problem than swelling. Shouldn’t it look better by now? The doc said it’s 80% healed.

Sorry, but we really don't expect large changes in the appearance of the nose after six months. Some changes in the width, but not in the profile view. It seems to me that you nose is still strong in its forward projection away from the face: the tip and bridge could be moved back closer to the...
