Swelling or scar on the right side of supratip area? Do I need a correction?

Question

I had revision rhinoplasty six months back. My nostrils are looking asymmetric and also the alar cartilage placed appears to be raised. I am not sure whether this is swelling or scar formation? Does it improve over time or do I need a correction?

To make an accurate assessment regarding the outcome of a plastic surgery procedure we generally need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures.
If you’ve had more than one operation, then you should ideally include before and after pictures of each of your previous operations.
If you don’t have before, and after pictures and ask your provider to forward, the pictures they took.
Based on your pictures, your nose looks pretty good and normal and I suggest not having more surgery at this point.
 Facial asymmetry is normal and everyone has it.
