Is this swelling or scar tissue 7 months post rhinoplasty? (Photos)

I had my surgery 7 months ago. I developed an uneven area on the bottom third of my nose. It is soft to the touch at certain points of the day, but can also get hard at times. I was told my skin is thin. Would this still be swelling or scar tissue.

Hi @gmc54321! The answer is yes and this can effect the smile. You are still early on in your healing journey. If this continues to be an issue after 1 year, the graft needs to be trimmed and adjusted. Best of luck. Dr. Nima!

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photos after the surgery, it takes about 1 or 1.5 years for the nose to take its shape. But there will be no change in the irregular appearance of your nose, so I recommend revision rhinoplasty to get rid of this image. It would...

A rhinoplasty procedure can accomplish narrowing your bridge line and narrowing your nostrils from the frontal view, and shaving down the dorsal hump from the Sideview. Digital computer imaging would be helpful to understand what a new nose would look like upon your facial features.
