My nose is deviated, that might be covered but when I look up you can totally tell it is crooked, looking at my picture, my face is obviously asymmetrical. Right eyebrow droops (not the eyelid had consult), cant see the right nostril as much as the left, and the right lip is slightly higher than the left. My appearance looks fine from the side but not the front. I look confused if you look at me, but I am making a straight face. Never had any fractures, or Bells Palsy so I am not sure what I need.
Update:
Anyways here are pictures I know I have a deviated septum but my ENT said he wants me to get allergy test which I did have tons of allergies but I still can't breathe good, as you will see one side of my nose looks closed off, and looking at me straight you can tell it is crooked but they say septo doesn't change appearance, do I need both?

In general, it is possible to make the nostrils smaller by performing alar base reduction surgery. One nostril can be made smaller to help restore symmetry. I would recommend seeking the advice of a board certified rhinoplasty specialist. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.
I generally advise my patients to wait 6 weeks before wearing sunglasses. I would recommend speaking with your surgeon, as they may have a specific protocol they would like you to follow. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.
