I'm 17 years old and I noticed my right nostril is slightly higher than my left, and it drives me CRAZY!! It makes the right side of my face look completely different than my left, (in my opinion). I have NEVER had any plastic surgery, broken nose or done anything at all that would have damaged it to be like this. I would really like to fix this, if possible, without surgery.. I understand that its very minor but any information on how to fix this would be great! thank you so much!

The turbinates are there to disrupt the airflow in such a way as to humidify the air as we breathe. Turbinectomy has a well known risk of nasal dryness. At 10 days, however, your nose is healing and any dryness is part of this process rather than airflow imbalance. Try a saline nasal spray for now.
