My nostrils aren't symmetrical. Any suggestions? (photos)

Asymmetrical nostrils caused by septal deviation.This can be repaired by correcting your septum which will give you symmetrical nostrils if it addition if you want a full write up plasty to accomplish other changes this can be done at the same time. See an experience rhinoplasty surgeon who has very natural results.

A rhinoplasty can improve the shape and the symmetry of your nose. The goal is to give you a nose that is symmetric and fits your face to enhance the other aspects of your face.Look for experienced and Board certified plastic surgeon. see more than one consult and make a well informed decison.

Nostril asymmetry is not uncommon, but it can easily be fixed with a simple procedure known as an alarplasty, or alar base reduction.  I would recommend consulting with a Board-Certified plastic surgeon, who will examine your nose and make recommendations based on your needs and wishes.  Good luck!

Dear Linkeydinke: Luckily for you, it looks like you have a pretty straight
forward situation. Generally the type of
asymmetry that you have is due to the front part of the septum which is not
quite in the midline. Correction of that
is not a major procedure. It is all done
internally and probably takes less than a half hour to do. Of course, it is done under anesthesia.
You will want to consult a specialist who is very handy
with doing nasal septal/rhinoplasty surgery.The first and most important piece
of homework should be seeking out a qualified, board-certified surgeon (in either
plastic surgery or an otolaryngologist
head & neck surgeon) one who is highly experienced and performs the
procedure you want at least weekly and has done so for a decade. You should also be able to see on
the surgeon’s website many hundreds of before and after pictures, showing the
changes in the procedure you want.



You should actually learn more
about what your procedure involves, including:



How to prepare for surgery

Undergoing the actual surgery

How long your recovery time should be

What to tell others

How long the surgical rejuvenation should last

Toward that end, many good books about cosmetic surgery
exist, including our own, Secrets of a
Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgeon.

Do a quick search of cosmetic plastic surgery books on
Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com and you’ll find a wealth of
information and handy coping tips.

Yet another note and reminder about the need for doing
cosmetic surgery research before choosing a surgeon and going ahead with a
procedure: Many, many cosmetic plastic surgery patients who did not investigate
their surgeon – and came away unhappy with the results – will spend months and
years, reading about having the procedure done correctly and finding just the
right surgeon to perform the revision surgery.Best wishes,

What you see protruding on your right side is the "footplate" of the nasal tip cartilages and this probably reflects deviation of those cartilages and your septum. This area can be straightened during a rhinoplasty and narrowing of your tip (and possibly left nostril) can be simultaneously performed.    See a few Bd. Certified physicians and make sure that you are comfortable with photos of other patients ,etc,. that they show you before proceeding.Good luck and enjoy your results.

The asymmetry of your nostrils is caused by asymmetry of of your tip cartilages, possible septal deviation, and asymmetry of the nostril rims. I would also recommend that you narrow the wide tip.  Cost will be between $5,000-7,000 depending on the result of an examination.
