Rhinoplasty can improve the appearance of asymmetric nostrils

Rhinoplasty can improve the appearance of asymmetric nostrils; however, it is almost impossible to guarantee perfect nostril symmetry. Most asymmetries of the nostril are caused by persistent septal deviation and thus can result from a septoplasty, asymmetric tip cartilages either from surgery or preexisting, or deviation of the lower third of the nose. Sometimes nostrils are just asymmetric and if that is the case then there are some techniques that can be performed to shift around, reduce or move the nostrils themselves.
