I have asymmetrical nose wings, what can be done for me?

Question

I favor my left nose wing, my right nose wing looks bigger, wider and flatter than my left nose wing, what can it be done on my right nose wing to look like my left nose wing

Richard G. Reish, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, your nasal symmetry can likely be improved with cartilage grafts, such as an alar contour graft.  Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system.  You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon.  If you cannot find enough real before and after pictures, then consider continuing your search for a surgeon. 
 
 Best wishes and good luck.

Hi
More photos are needed to be evaluated your face s proportion needs to shown.
You better have a detailed in-person examination then according to examination result
A Rhinoplasty can help you to have the look you desired.

I would recommend starting with a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty surgery to discuss if rhinoplasty can address your concerns. 
I would recommend writing down the following questions before scheduling your consultation:
1. Are you unhappy with the tip of your nose? 
2. Do you feel that your nose is too wide? 
3. Do you want to make your nostrils smaller in appearance? 
4. Are you looking to decrease the general size of your nose?
I hope some of these questions will help you pinpoint what it is that you don't like about your nose.  Cost will vary due to various factors like anesthesia fees, facilities fees, etc. I wish you the best as you research your options when scheduling a rhinoplasty consultation.
Sincerely,
