Why is my nose changing so much after primary rhinoplasty? 20 months post op now (photos)

September 15, 2024
Asked By:Intellectual254980 in Houston, Texas

I am 20 months post op and I feel that my nose is getting worse with time. I am experiencing a dip in the middle of my nose, uneven nostrils and retraction, a bulbous tip and unaesthetic dorsal aesthetic lines. I feel like the bridge of my nose is also not even and I can see and feel asymmetry especially in photos. How can this be fixed and why is this happening now? I have thick skin and have received 3 steroid shots at 6,9 and 12 months. My surgeon won’t tell me why this is happening !
