Alar Asymmetry Can Be Improved

Asymmetries of nostrils can be repaired, but whether it is wise to do so is the important (and individualized) question. Your photos don't adequately demonstrate the asymmetry to comment here, but get a couple of opinions from well trained and experienced plastic surgeons before proceeding.

Asymmetry of face

I don't appreciate significant alar asymmetry in you.  I do notice that the left side of your face is shorter than the right, and this is reflected in the eye, nose, and mouth.

Nostril and face asymmetry.

I would need to see your profile view ro give you a good answer. You have a very asymmetric face and eyes and we I would not want to do anything that would call further attention to that.
