Will a rhinoplasty fix my extreme asymmetry?

A
ab1971Jul 21, 2019

Used to have a normal nose, now very asymmetrical (no rhinoplasty done). I do not remember experiencing any nose trauma but I started noticing my asymmetry issues about a decade ago (older pictures of me show a perfectly normal nose) & it seems to get worse with time. I did have a deviated septum & had a septoplasty/turbinate reduction in Feb 2019 & was hoping it would help my asymmetry but it didn't at all & seemed to cause some saddle nose I didn't have before.
