Answer: Asymmetry can be explained by swelling after rhinoplasty.
I see the asymmetry referred to in the picture. Fortunately this may very well be due to asymmetric swelling. Remain patient.

Answer: Post op rhinoplasty You phos indicate asymmetry of your nose which will rob ably not improve with time. Was your nose asymmetric prior to the surgery? It would be helpful to see your before photos to know for sure. Otherwise, you may need a revision of your rhinoplasty and the bones rebroken.

Answer: Swelling From Rhinoplasty Should Be Gone By 6 Months
Hi Sarai, It appears that the left middle third of your nose is narrower than on your right side. The swelling from your surgery should be down 6 months after surgery. You should see your rhinoplasty surgeon and discuss your concerns and be examined. You may benefit from a small amount of injectable filler to balance your nose for the next 6 months. If you have continued asymmetry at that time, then you may consider revision rhinoplasty. Good luck and be well. Dr. P

Answer: I Had Septo Rhinoplasty 6 Months Ago and I Have Uneven Swelling Still is This Normal?
Most swelling is typically gone at 6 months, considering that it does appear that you had a closed approach procedure. It does appear that the right nasal bone is laterally positioned relative to the left side. You should bring this to your Facial Plastic Surgeon's attention. If they are unable to help, you can seek a second opinion. In most cases, we would wait up to 12 months prior to performing a revision. However, if the only issue is a bone that healed in the wrong position you could have that remedied sooner. I hope this information is helpful.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty for crooked nose
It is usually best to wait at least a year after the primary rhinoplasty before undergoing a revision. Asymmetrical nasal bones and upper lateral cartilages like this are best treated with osteotomies and a spreader graft composed of the patient's own nasal cartilage inserted into the concave side. Please see the link below for examples of twisted noses we have repaired in our rhinoplasty practice
