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.
Answer: Deviated nasal septum and nostril asymmetry: Deviated nasal septum and nostril asymmetry: when the septum is badly deviated it causes multiple associated asymmetries, such as in your case, nostril asymmetry. The rhinoplasty and septoplasty that is performed to correct this generally makes a dramatic improvement in these asymmetries. However you use two words that no honest plastic surgeon would ever use. These are “guarantee“ and “Perfect“. It is generally known among plastic surgeons that a severely deviated septum cannot be made perfectly straight. They are often small residual asymmetries. an honest plastic surgeon will tell you that. So frankly if one “guarantees“ you a “perfect“ nose with no residual asymmetry that is the surgeon I would avoid.

Answer: Symmetrical nostrils with Septoplasty Hi innerglowing, While the photo provided is not enough for a good assessment, in general, no procedure can guarantee a perfect result. The face and the whole body is not perfectly symmetrical (and so is the nose) for majority of the population. With regards to the nose, there are also several factors that needed to be considered in order to achieve a symmetrical result.
