My nose is largely bigger on one side, can this be fixed? (photos)

Question

The whole left side of my nose is stands higher and is fatter, especially where the upper lateral cartilage is. And the entire right side falls lower and looks as if it is turning inwards instead of outwards, and feels like a slight concave under the right nostril.

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based on your photo shown it is difficult to evaluate because the angles and the quality of the photo is not good. my recommendation is that you be consulted in person by your certified plastic surgeon who sees and evaluates

Yes, your nose could be improved with rhinoplasty, which would give permanent improvements in symmetry, shape and profile. You can bring photos of noses that you think would be flattering to your face and these can be discussed. When you meet with a facial plastic surgeon, he or she will consider your nose in balance with your other features and can over the cost of the procedure. I hope this helps.

Dear Asymantra, 
The size and symmetry can surely be improved or fixed with a Rhinoplasty. 
I use diagram and draws to explain what is involved in the procedure case by case and use picture simulation to show the possible outcome on a side view. You will need reshaping of your nasal bone and cartilage in a different way from one side to the other.

Darryl J. Hodgkinson, MD, FACS, FRCSC (retired) · Answer

Your images suggest you have a long standing twist in the internal structures of your nose which you can clearly see has caused the tip of your nose to be asymmetrical and the middle is not straight.A rhinoplasty surgeon will evaluate the internal structures especially the septum and pehaps order a CT scan evaluation.You breathing should also be  testedThe procedure of septorhinoplasty would make the shape more symmetrical.
