Why does one side of my nose/nostril stick out more than the other? (Photo)

Asked By:Emmalouiseg_ in Australia, AU

Im 22 years of age, my nose is quite an issue for me, I do remember vaguely being kicked in the nose when I was in primary school so im not sure if it is because lf that, but I've only noticed a few years ago that one side of nose sticks out more, the other side of my nose is flat compared to it, you can feel the bump when you run your finger over it, it clicks alot aswell when I move my nose from side to side etc, can this be fixed by surgery or is it a normal thing to happen?
