Rhinoplasty worries

Hey guys, so I had closed rhinoplasty on saturday and I’m doing great, all swelling has gone down and bruising has turned yellow which is good sign!
HOWEVER, Im starting to freak out because my right nostril doesnt look the same shape as my left nostril, I still have my cast on so I know its not the end results but I am starting to get scared incase my nostrils are different sizes and shapes. My right one is like a triangle and my left is normal.
Has this happened to anyone else? Im trying not to obsess over it but its hard not to!!

my PC said if it doesn’t change then corrective surgery will sort it. BUT I dont want to have to go through it all again!! x

Hi Paige,

I had alar base reduction on my nostrils as well and was checking mine daily post op to monitor the difference – I’d convinced myself that they were different shapes and sizes but since I’ve had the cast off they seemed to have evened out and are definitely smaller.

Try not to stress yourself about too much now, wait until the cast is off and even then that whole area could have a lot of swelling. I seem to have a lot more stitches in my left nostril and that was the one that seemed larger so just give it time to settle xx

its all swelling! youl get it when the cast comes off but it will all even out in the end 🙂 x

Aww thank you girls !! I was starting to panic!! Cast off tomorrow.. eeek xxxx

Good luck!!! Let us all know how you get on x
