Things have changed over time, my nostril are still uneven but it seems it was a pre-exisiting condition of mine. My nose is much smaller, but still not ideal so Dr. Epstein proposed to do another smaller surgery, to rotate the tip upward a bit more and maybe make it a little smaller.
My nose is part of me and I barely remember the old one, the surgery was really worth it for me, and the revision might be as well...
Dr. Epstein gave me a steroid shot, another in a couple weeks, to see if maybe this will help with scar tissue and maybe not require me to have a revision.

Kinda freaked by my nostrils

I am one month post up and have no hardness/numbness is my nose beside the very tip of the nose. No swelling in the inside of the nose so I am pretty sure my nostrils are settled but my bridge and tip are not.
Anyways my nostril are very uneven in size, that was noticeable right after the surgery but I didnt think anything of it, now I am worried because it is not getting any better. What do you think of the photo?

Your nose did not settle yet and you have no idea how swollen you are still. Your uneven nostrils can take 3 to 6 moths to resolve. It all takes a very long time. Be patient you are looking for results too quick. You will see your nose change, get slimmer, and swelling shifting.

Also in order to evaluate your nose you need better pictures. Side view, front from the top and bottom, and the bottom.

It sort of appears that your nostrils had asymmetry in your "before" as well, and that removing the bulk from your tip revealed it a bit more. That being said, I would think it'd be something noticed and corrected during surgery. Whatever the case, you are for SURE still swollen.... give it time and if you just need a tip plasty later, that is usually an in-office procedure. Good luck!

Omg I love your new nose! So well defined and freckled! I think, nothing is perfect and you could spend way too much time looking for flaws, overall your nose is gorgeous the nostrils are not perfect but no one is looking THAT CLOSELY just you!

hi have you been in touch with your doctor regarding your concerns? if yes, what does he say? is he easy to get in touch with / communicate with after the surgery re: any concerns?

It looks GREAT.
For it to look that much smaller, more refined, and nicely projected by day 20--you look wonderful. Hope it just keeps getting better.
