Septoplasty has left my left nostril larger than before. Is it possible to correct it back to its original size? Can rhinoplasty fix this kind of problem?
Nostril asymmetry is a challenging problem but can be improved with advanced Rhinoplasty techniques and cartilage grafting. At times the asymmetry of the nostrils may be due to deviation of the septum. This can be corrected with a Septoplasty procedure. See before and after pictures of a recent revision Rhinoplasty I performed for correction of nostril asymmetry here.
Yes, the goal of Rhinoplasty is to create a nose that fits harmoniously with the face and balanced for each individual patient. Asymmetric nostrils can be improved upon and made to look more symmetrical. However, largely asymmetric nostrils can be quite difficult to be made to look perfect. It can be very difficult to adjust one oval nostril to match a more round nostril, but the nostrils can be done to look more symmetrical.
