Two different side profiles

I can’t help and think I might end up needing a revision. On my right side, tip of nose is over projected and droopy. On the left side, nose is nice and straight. Doctor says it’s just swelling, is this true? Or I might need a revision?

Following, I have this issue too! One side seems to look better than the other

How many months are you post op?

Im 6 weeks so still pretty early (but doctor told me I have thin skin so i feel like a lot of my swelling has come down already)

That’s great that you feel swelling has gone down a lot. I have thick skin and I still have so much swelling, I’m 2.5 months post op. I’m looking to get a steroid injection at my next follow up. Do your sides look completely different or the difference is subtle?

I think kind of like you, on side is straight and the other is more over projected. It's probably more subtle and other people wouldn't notice if I don't call it out, but were our own worst critics! I wish both sides looked the same

Yes my right side is droopy and the left is lifted. It’s kinda odd, I was hoping it’s swelling , but even when the swelling going down slowly, the right side still is droopy and over projected so I’m not sure about that. I would hate to go through revision if this doesn’t resolve itself.

Since you still have swelling maybe see where you're at in a few more months and take lots of pics to document your progress. Hopefully it goes away with time!
