I'm 17 years old and I noticed my right nostril is slightly higher than my left, and it drives me CRAZY!! It makes the right side of my face look completely different than my left, (in my opinion). I have NEVER had any plastic surgery, broken nose or done anything at all that would have damaged it to be like this. I would really like to fix this, if possible, without surgery.. I understand that its very minor but any information on how to fix this would be great! thank you so much!
Answer: Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections may be considered for nostril lowering. In our experience, microdroplet liquid silicone injections may be a non-surgical method to permanently address nostril asymmetry without the expense and downtime associated with rhinoplasty surgery. Hope this helps you. Dr Joseph

CONTACT NOW Answer: Cannot be fixed without surgery, but does not need fixing! You have a normal appearing nose! every nose and every body part that is on each side of the body is asymmetric in some way from the other side. The same is true for the nose, the extremities, the breast, abdomen, etc. If you look at attractive people all over the world and look closely, you will always find asymmetries. I would recommend you do not do anything to your nose at all. I guarantee you nobody out there notices, as it looks normal, so feel reassured. If you would still like to work on it, there are some things that can be done to try to bring that nostril slightly down ,but they are all surgical, and the results are not that predictable, so I would not recommend them. -David Mattos, Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Nasal Asymmetry It’s not unusual for patients to have some degree of facial asymmetry. In fact facial asymmetry in some regards is a normal physical finding. In many cases facial asymmetry is related to abnormalities of the underlying facial skeleton. Your pictures suggest asymmetry of your entire facial structure. The left side of your face is more prominent than the opposite side, and your chin deviates towards the right. This type of deformity can easily explain your nostril asymmetry. Unfortunately, correction of this type of nasal asymmetry can’t be accomplished with rhinoplasty alone. In many cases, surgery upon the underlying facial bones would be necessary. These maneuvers wouldn’t be justified for minor facial asymmetry. Under these circumstances it might be helpful to consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this area. This surgeon can perform a more comprehensive evaluation and determine if reasonable treatment alternatives exist to accomplish your aesthetic goals.

Answer: Asymmetrical nostrils fixed without surgery It is very difficult to get nostril symmetry perfect, and there is no perfect nose. The amount of asymmetry is very minuscule, And probably best left alone. To make adjustments requires surgery which would include a composite skin/ cartilage graft harvested from the ear and sewn in place underneath the nostril rim. You would also need to have parental consent since you're only 17.

Answer: Is There A Non-Surgical Technique To Fix My Nonsymmetric Nose?
Firstly, I definitely see the asymmetry you are referring to, and if it is driving you crazy, I highly recommend you get it fixed. Secondly, I know of no non-surgical technique that will fix the asymmetry.
Surgery, however brief, is the only answer and the right answer to correct the asymmetry of your nostrils and the emotional discomfort which this asymmetry engenders.
