Very Asymmetric Nostrils
Dear Elizabeth,
Rhinoplasty surgery can help improve the asymmetry of your nostrils. Surgery can be done after your nose is fully grown, which is generally around age 15 or 16. The cost will vary depending on a number of individual factors.

Asymmetric Nostrils
Hi,
I assume you had a nostril narrowing procedure in the past. Its quite unusually to see this kind of asymmetry without previous surgery. This type of correction is difficult and you should find a surgeon that has handled this before. I assume it will cost in the range of $5000.
Best,
Dr.S.
