Will Septoplasty balance uneven nostrils? (photos)

September 9, 2016
Asked By:grey248 in Australian Capital Territory, AU

I understand the procedure is not cosmetic but I feel like this could be an exception. My septum protrudes at the bottom of my right nostril, giving the appearance of it being much smaller than the left. Will septoplasty aid in fixing this to a degree (getting rid of the protruding septum)
