I’m looking for help with what would be recommended for my nose. I’ve never thought about a nose job but lately my nostrils look crooked. Never had any injury or don’t believe septum is deviated. Would love to get recommendations for what could be done to create a more even looking nose/ nostrils. Thank you

Answer: Closed atraumatic rhinoplasty Dear Creative988091 , Thankyou for providing pictures for a better recommendation. In my professional opinion, the nostril asymmetry is one of the most difficult deformities to be addressed in rhinoplasty field, because of soft tissue limitations. Consequently closed atraumatic rhinoplasty surgery can help to improve the nostrils however, 100% symmetry is not achievable. I am attaching a link for before and after if you would like to look deeper into the procedure and what to expect. Regards, TAS TEAM

Answer: Which procedure would help me achieve a more symmetrical nose and nostrils? Having performed several thousand successful rhinoplasties it is imporrtant that you know: Every nose is different and unique to that individual. If the appearance of your nose concerns you enough to do something about it, it can be improved with a natural artistically performed rhinoplasty. What would be the best option and exact procedure would depend on an examination and discussion about desired outcome. Excellent results can be achieved with either a closed or open technique. Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on very limited photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, M.D., FACS La Jolla, California
