This nose contains a number of features that were changed during surgery. The nose was
too long for her face. The hump was removed. The tip was too
wide, and she has another interesting problem with her tip cartilages: with her
strong cartilages and thin nasal tip skin, we can see a dent at the tip of her
nose. The dent isn't visible in the after picture.
The new nose fits her face much better.

Questioner:
Rhinoplasty gone wrong? Nostrils not even
Help, I had surgery on the 18th of May. Right away I noticed my nostrils were not even. When I went back to my doc the following day after surgury and addressed this with him he said my nostrils were probably uneven before the surgery, which is not the case. What should I do? What do you think ? I am panicking because it is now the 20th and although I know my nose is still swollen I don't believe my nostrils will change. What do you think?
(Questioner submitted photos)
Dr. Denenberg's answer: Go back to your doctor again.
Asymmetric swelling can cause visible asymmetries that go away if it's truly only the swelling that's asymmetric.
But you're only a couple days after surgery! Your doctor is the one who knows what happened during surgery, and you're kind of stuck with him for support right now. Call him again for another evaluation/pep talk.
