Nose crooked after Septoplasty? (Photos)

July 26, 2016
Asked By:greenstars3d in Toronto, ON

I had a septoplasty two weeks ago, and my nose seems to have a dent on the left side. Also, the tip is crooked and bigger on the left side. The middle bone is leaning towards the right side so much, and I can even feel it. Is this going to change, especially the middle bone since there isn't much swelling on the top, but the bone is leaning so much to the right

Post Septoplasty concerns. Any suggestions?
Jeffrey Joseph, MD, FACS says:

Although these are two different entities, they are both contributors to nasal obstruction.  Whereas the valve issue is best handled with the usage of spreader grafts, the turbinates can often be treated medically, with those unaffected by medicine to consider turbinate reduction.

I'm exactly 6 months post-op. Still no improvement in my breathing. Should I be seen and by who?
