Asymmetrical tip - is teostrut too far on left? Lacking cartilage on right? How could this be improved? (Photo)

LouloumooJan 28, 2023
5 months post septorhinoplasty. Hello! I have a few concerns. My tip goes to my left (it didn't before), my surgeon says he doesn't think it will improve much now. He did a teostrut to the left of my septum. I can feel the graft and it is not central. What doesn't help is that the right side of my tip seems to be lacking cartilage and I think I also might have valve collapse on the right side. What do you think caused these issues? How could this be improved? Thank you for your advice.

If your breathing is improved with Q-tips, as you demonstrated, depending on your examination, small, supporting stretch of cartilage may be used to support your airway, and to improve the pinched appearance of your tip. Hope this helps Dr. Joseph.

Hi @laniiii138459! Nostril asymmetry will not likely improve with steroid injections. A revision rhinoplasty may be necessary, but I would wait at least 12 months for all swelling to subside. Best of luck!
