Ethnic Rhinoplasty Recovery - excessive swelling and nostril holes too prominent after 1 year

February 27, 2023
Asked By:aa567 in Millersville, Maryland

I am an Indian female, 36 yo. I had my rhinoplasty/septoplasty done by aHarvard trained plastic surgeon based on NYC in Feb 2022. During my consultation, I had mentioned to my surgeon that I was overall happy with my nose. The major concerns I had were hanging columella, bulbous tip and nostrils that showed more that I liked. It has been 1 year since surgery and I am finding that my nose looks very large and my nostrils are becoming more prominent. Is this normal or should I be concerned?
