Uneven upper lateral cartilage on a thick skin, bulbous nose. What should I do? (photo)

Asked By:Maxelle4534135 in Chicago, Illinois

Hey! There is a visible difference between how my upper lateral cartilage connects to my lower lateral cartilage on either side at different angles. This could be because of a deviated septum, however I’m worried that if I get it fixed it’s going to not have definition and look “thick”, like my “left” side. Could rhinoplasty address this? I have thick skin and a bulbous nose so I’m worried that will complicate things. Any insight is appreciated.
