Answer: Deviated septum Sometimes the deviation is lower than the original dorsum and as it is trimmed a bit, the curvature is exposed. Best to be seen in person.

Answer: Deviated septum There are two reasons for a deviated septum after rhinoplasty:1) It was possibly present before surgery but unnoticeable to you because it didn't cause any breathing problems. 2) Rhinoplasty surgeons will occasionally obtain cartilage from the septum to place cartilage grafts in the nose. If this was done there could be lack of support from missing cartilage with a tendency for the septum to deviate to one side. Usually, there is increased congestion in the nose after surgery and despite a deviated septum breathing will return to normal. However, if breathing problems still persist after several months I would revisit with your surgeon to discuss possible correction.
