Rhinoplasty: Q&A
Ask a Question
Is Rhinosplasty Needed to Make Nose Sides Symmetrical?
One side of my nose is longer than the other; the cartilage at the end of the right side of my nose extends beyond the other side. Is there any way I can deal with this? Would removing the excess cartilage require a scheduled Rhinoplasty, or is there a risky-but-possible home method?

Making Nose Symmetrical
The nose is a highly complex structure and therefore an in person consultation with a nose expert can help answer what is the best method to provide symmetry to your nose.

Even if there were a "risky-but-possible" home method to correct excessive, asymmetric nasal cartilage, no responsible physician could recommend it.
Best of luck.
