I don't really hate the shape of my nose; I just it want to be more symmetrical. But I'm a little skeptic as to whether a nose job can match shape of my nostrils when I have seen people with huge yet perfectly straight, symmetrical noses end up with smaller crooked ones.I would greatly appreciate a prompt reply. I have already scheduled an appointment for next month but I'm having second thoughts. This is driving me crazy!Thank you.
Answer: Hold off on surgery for now. Achieving symmetry is a near impossible goal and if that is what you are seeking it is very likely you may be disappointed. Attempting to diminish the degree of asymmetry is a more reasoanble approach. If you are having second thoughts and your nose is "not that bad", it sounds as if you should defer surgery for now. Your words indicate that you will be looking for any asymmetry which you will find upsetting.

Answer: Second Thoughts Mean Hold Off on Surgery Any time a patient is having second thoughts it is important to hold off on surgery. This gives you time to re-evaluate and figure out exactly what your concerns and fears are and then discuss them with your surgeon before surgery and not after surgery.

Answer: Nostril Asymmetry is Correctable Most often, failure in correcting deviated noses lies in failure to correct the nasal septum. New deviations that occur after Rhinoplasty also often involve failure to correct the nasal septum.

Answer: Closed rhinoplasty for asymmetrical nostrils, depends of cause of asymmetry Closed rhinoplasty can fix asymmetrical nostrils, but it depends on the degree of asymmetry of the nostrils themselves. Sometimes a simple alarplasty can be performed to further balance the nostril shape and width. Asymmetrical tip cartilages can also cause asymmetrical nostrils, and this can be addressed through a closed rhinoplasty as well. It is important to know what is causing the asymmetry and to embark on a surgical plan of action to correct the underlying problem.
