I underwent rhinoplasty and FESS 10 days ago. I had a deviated septum and a hump. My hump was removed in the surgery, earlier i had breathing problem but now it vanished. My only concern is that earlier my nove was crooked and the bridge between my nose and lips was slightly tilted. My doctor told me after surgery it will be okay. I had my stitches and cast removed 2 days back. But the left side of my face is lookin way bigger than right and my nose is still a bit crooked. Help pls. Thank you
