Will a septoplasty make my nostrils perfectly symmetrical? (Photo)

January 28, 2022
Asked By:innerglowing in Boston, Massachusetts

I have a deviated septum. I am worried my plastic surgeon will tell me he can't guarantee my nostrils will be symmetrical but that he'll make it "better". I want to know what my expectations should be and if he says he can't make them symmetrical, if I should pursue the surgery with another doctor.
