I don’t want a nose job, but what can fix uneven nostrils and could it work for my case?

Question

It bothers me how one nostril is larger than the other and I am wondering how I can fix it? Thanks.

Thank you for your question. Yes, non-surgical or liquid rhinoplasty can make the subtle improvements you want. This procedure uses a combination of dermal fillers, strategically placed, to enhance the shape, size and profile of the nose. The treatment can also be used to adjust the alar base and bring symmetry to the nostrils. Make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist with expertise in liquid rhinoplasty to ensure a safe procedure and an optimal result.

If the basde view of your nose is the only way that this asymmetry can be seen, it may be best to just live with it. If you havbe filler injected, it would affect the height of your nostril on front view. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

It is difficult to tell for sure from a single image, but you might be a good candidate for a non-surgical nose job, also known as liquid rhinoplasty. This procedure uses a combination of injectable dermal fillers to produce subtle improvement and enhance the symmetry of the nose. Choose a board-certified dermatologist that has extensive experience in liquid rhinoplasty to ensure an optimal outcome from your procedure.

Thank you for your question. Non-surgical rhinoplasty or nose fillers can help improve the nasal shape. Nostril asymmetry is usually better corrected with surgery to reduce the nostrils in a more permanent way, but sometimes fillers can also do the job. The best fillers for this purpose are Hyaluronic acid fillers and they last for about a year. You will need maintenance to keep the results (about once a year). An in-person consultation is the best way to do evaluate you and define the best product to use and which areas need to be injected.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Dr Miotto

Hello,
Thank you for your question. A physical examination by an experienced doctor can provide best options for you. A total symmetry is hard to achieve but can be fixed temporarily by a Nonsurgical Nose Job. Fillers may cause severe complications in wrong hands, so make sure to meet experienced board certified plastic surgeon. To find out more please click on the attached link.

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers (like Voluma, Restylane, Juvederm) can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose, but surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. Best to see an expert. - Dr. Emer
