As you can see, my nostrils are kinda crooked and when I smile it makes my nose look kinda ugly. In my opinion, I think I would have a really nice nose if it wasn't for that. What is causing my nostrils to be crooked? What kind of procedure can fix this? How much would it cost? The top pic is just my nose regularly without me smiling, and the bottom pic is how it looks when I'm smiling.
