I've attached some photos in hope someone can help me. I've read many doctors respond that it could be do to swelling but I've seen numerous girls with nostrils as asymmetrical as mine and not one of them have resolved and evened out. I truly trust my doctor but at the same time I'm very worried. I'm asking if any doctors can let me know if they've had a patient similar to my uneven nostrils (one is even more pushed in than the other) eventually even out? This has been very hard emotionally.
