Hello and thank you for your question. Thebest advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. There are many ways to fix nostril asymmetry. You may have asymmetry of your caudal septum which can contribute to nostril asymmetry. This may need to be corrected also. Make sure you specifically lookat before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgeryperformed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The mostimportant aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommendthat you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon whocan evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G.

The base view of your nose appears to reveal a crooked columella that leans to your left, and the base of your nasal septum appears off the midline, and sitting in your right nasal cavity. Consider consulting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists so you could see what to expect after surgical correction. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph
The photos suggest you have a deviated septum. More specifically you have a deviation of the caudal, or front/bottom edge, of the septum. This can be tricky to fix. Make sure you see a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Dear Caseykemmerling, thank you for your question. Correcting nostril asymmetry is commonly carried out during primary rhinoplasty, there are a number of different causes for such deformities. Most commonly this is a result of three underlying problems. First, congenital deviation of the front portion of the septum can change the shape of a nostril. Secondly, congenital asymmetry of the lower lateral cartilages can also lead to these types of issues. Lastly, the actual size of the nostril can be uneven if there is excess soft tissue within the nostril causing an asymmetric size to the nostril opening. A detailed examination of the tip of the nose will reveal what solution would be most appropriate. It is therefore important to include possibly a septoplasty, a tip plasty and/or alar plasty as part of the surgical solution depending upon which issue is present. Best wishes, Dr. Tobias

In base view of your nose i see some deviation and that is why it appears asymmetrical. Consider consulting with a facial plastic surgeon to check you and decide what most suit your case. Best regards Dr. Nabil Fakih
After surgery, it is hard to shift nose after a small hit over the nose. ButiIf you do not see any noticeable signs of cosmetic damage, don't worry! It is good to have a check up by your surgeon to confirm that everything is going great and calm your fear!
Thanks for your question, Ally. Ok, so the good news is that you’re from Ontario, and a septorhinoplasty is covered by OHIP because it’s a functional treatment. In many cases, a rhinoplasty will need to be paid out of pocket or through personal insurance. Although, with a septorhinoplasty, and...
It's always OK to wait till you're in your later teens before you even consider any surgery, there's no harm waiting at all.
