Tags: nostrils, male, flared, hard

I had 2 rhinoplasty procedure done Ist in 2001 for the bump,Second, 2008 for the tip. I have asymmetric nostrils and one side of nose/nostril is higher than other. My nose doesn't feel soft at all its hard from the tip and all bony. When I squeeze my nostrils, left side with the huge hole nostril feels harder than the right side with normal nostril size. The nose looks long to me and hard. Is there any possible recommendation for my case?

Rhinoplasty X 3

This will be your third surgery and likely to be challenging.  I would definitely talk to your last rhinoplasty surgeon since he/she knows exactly what was done in your surgery.  If you choose to go to someone else, it would be helpful to get your operative reports from your previous surgery.  Regardless, you and your surgeon should communicate well in order to  give you realistic expectations on what can be done given your anatomy.
