So, i’m basically 6 months post op now and i’m worried about my swelling on the tip. I don’t know if it’s swelling or if it’s generally crooked now? It looked dead straight coming out of the cast however I have had a few minor bumps to the nose. I’ve always noticed a difference in my rhinoplasty that my right profile always looked different from my left since day one of surgery. However i’ve never had any previous asymmetry, I know things can’t be perfect but help!
