Why does my nose move when I blink or shut my eyes? (Photo)

December 4, 2020
Asked By:shendrix in Cleveland, OH

I'm self conscious about my nose. The right side of my nose is a bit "fuller" on the sidewall and down into the nostril- which I think is from a muscle that isn't the same on the opposite (left) side. I say this because every time I blink or close my eyes, the right side of my nose moves and this "muscle" contracts. What are the options to make this asymmetrical movement stop & to make my nose have a symmetrical/nicer appearance? Thanks
