Why is the tip of my nose turned on the one side? (Photo)

February 15, 2014
Asked By:bilyana

I had a rhinoplasty one month ago and since then i think that there is some uneven sweeling on the one side of the tip, that makes the nose looks asymmetric. What do you think?? As i recall when the cast came off the nose was straight, but now it isn't.Do you think that it is swelling, or it is crooked?
