Nasal Asymmetry

Richard W. Fleming, MD answers: Is Rhinosplasty needed to make nose sides symmetrical?

One side of my nose is longer than the other; the cartilage at the end of the right side of my nose extends beyond the other side. Is there any way I can deal with this? Would removing the excess cartilage require a scheduled Rhinoplasty, or is there a risky-but-possible home method?

There is no home remedy to correct your asymmetry. The offending cartilage must be repositioned or trimmed to improve nasal appearance. Schedule a consultation to discuss your alternatives.
