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.
