Nostril asymmetry after rhinoplasty

Asymmetric Nostrils
It is common to have some asymmetry between the two sides of the face and it is common to have some asymmetry between the two nostrils. Asymmetry between the two sides can be evened out by repositioning one side of the nostril higher and slightly narrowing it if it is wider.
