One of my eyes is further up and over than the other, and I have a deviated septum that makes it hard to breathe on the right side (left in the photo). Would rhinoplasty make the asymmetry with my eyes appear worse? What would bring the best sense of balance to my face?

Answer: Nasal deviation causing eye asymmetry These kinds of things always require an in-office consult along with standard photos to really see everything and appreciate the ratios. Your nose does appear to deviate to the left, which can cause the optical illusion that your right eye is actually more "up and out" than the left. So, after seeing you in the office, a PS would likely recommend rhinoplasty first to fix the deviation. I wouldn't do anything to the eyes for several reasons, but one of them is because you don't want to create to many moving targets. Fix the nose and get it centered, then reevaluate. I think that will be all you end up needing.
