Answer: Wide nose after rhinoplasty It appears from your 3/4 view that you can see the edge of your nasal bones or some swelling over this area. I would reassess the width after a year or later. Keep in mind that further revisions may only complicate matters. I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: Wide Nose after Rhinoplasty I could better answer this question if you had both your before and after pictures. The common causes for a wide bridge after a rhinoplasty are:1) Wide nasal bones2) Cartilage grafting that caused a widening of the nose3) Swelling The nose will continue to change as it heals for 1 year. I would wait a year and then compare your before and after photos. At that time, you could consider additional procedures if you are not satisified.I hope this helps.

Answer: Wide nasal bridge The photographs presented do not have a frontal view. That would give the best appearance. The most likely reason for wide nasal bridge is lack of infracture of the osteotomies are not having done the low lateral osteotomies at all which allows the bones to be brought together and narrow the bridgeAnother possibility is excess cartilage in the upper lateral cartilages by now most of the swelling should have resolved and it appears to be a structural issue and would need to be addressed surgically.RegardsDr. J

Answer: 5 months post rhinoplasty At 5 months post rhinoplasty, your nose is likely still swollen. It is difficult to tell from your photos if it is crooked.
