I had open-rhinoplasty with Dr. Shah on 11/14/13. My overall experience and recovery went smoothly. It was uncomfortable learning to sleep with my mouth opened, so I would recommend Zzz-quil. I live how my new profile looks, but I dislike that my nostrils look asymmetrical. The doctor said to wait until the swelling goes down before he can do any touch-ups.

I don't see the asymmetry! I am sure it will get better in a few months

pls post more pics of yourself, esp sideways, to allow better judge your columella reduction. Also, i think its too early to judge the asymmetry of your nostrils. From my experience the swelling would come down anytime between 3 weeks and 3 months and varies from patient to patient. If u r unhappy with the nostrils, maybe u have to go for a revision. I find round shaped nostrils in females sexy.

Also, the nasal sidewall seems to be at an upward angle towards your nasal tip, so this is giving out your nostrils more than required.

Thank you for sharing on RealSelf. You're a beauty! I see no asymmetry either.

It's been 4 weeks since my open rhinoplasty and I can see some progress. I want to apologize for my blackhead. At the 3 week mark I was able to sleep breathing through my nose. The nose is still tended to touch. Swelling has gone down.

I think your nose looks absolutely perfect, and I definitely don't notice any difference in the nostrils. Nice!
