Revision Rhinoplasty After Being Unable to Breath After First Procedure. - Los Angeles, CA
UPDATED FROM D_new_york
16 days post
Bummed out today, reassuring comments welcome!
I'm about 16 days post op and my asymmetry looks WORSE than before. I hope its just swelling but my tip is leaning from underneath dramatically and the tip looks asymmetric. Has anyone had similar issues? My nose will always lean to the right a bit more which I'm ok with. I'm very realistic about my results. I emailed my Dr with pictures because I feel very concerned.

After nasal trauma or tissue removal it will tilt. I'm sorry you're unhappy. What grafts were used in you?
In time, you may find the nose straightens.
Hopefully as the graft (shield graft?) shrinks, it will sit better in your skin. It definitely took me at least 2 months before my own assymetry went away.

p.s.--it's leaning because septal caudal struts are just not very strong in the nose.

i realize this is so long ago, but you look amazing. i just got mine revised and it's swinging to the right. it looks crazy, but they said it's swelling. my pre-nose looks so much like yours.
