What would be the cost to shaving one lower lateral cartilage down to (somewhat match) the other side? (photos)

Asked By:Frostinad in Colorado Springs, CO

I am having a septoplasty soon, which I understand will not fix the uneven lower lateral cartilage on one side of my nose. I do not want to touch the bridge of my nose at all. I just want to reduce one side. Is that possible? What is the cost and what would it entail?
