Uneven nostrils post-rhinoplasty. How long will it take to even out? (Photo)

Hi,

Please be patient as you are only three months after the surgery. Swelling needs to resolve.

Most people have some degree of asymmetry of nostrils before any surgery. It is not very uncommon to have some remaining asymmetry of nostril after surgery. The good news is that this view is not seen and visualized by most people.

Please see your plastic surgeon to discuss the asymmetry of bone that you can see on the side of your nose.

Hope this is helpful.

Dr. Sajjadian

The base view of your nose is not a view that is seen by most people. If your nostril asymmetry is not conspicuous on your frontal or profile views, then I wouldn't be concerned. 

I don't have an explanation for the hard bumps that started to appear on your nose 2 weeks ago. Go see your surgeon for an examination and explanation.

All the best from NJ.

Currently, it is 3.5 months after your Rhinoplasty. You can expect tip swelling, side to side subtle asymmetries, and perhaps some numbness in your nasal tip.  Don't expect your final result right now: it will take at least a year to unfold.  As Dr. Mayer pointed out, the only person who currently sees this view of your nose is you.

It will take 6-12 months for the final result. The good news is that you don't walk around with that view showing.

You have complained about the uneven nostrils and the view that you send is a view that nobody will see. Please send more pictures. If you expect 100% symmetrical results,you will be disappointed since that is impossible.
