How to fix different sized nostrils, to make one be bigger and not regular?

June 26, 2014
Asked By:ohlalaz in Edmonton, AB

I had a perfect nose until I started playing with one side of my nose when I was a kid, because it would be runny, so I would wipe it in a way, that after years, it got bigger and different than the other nostril, and this makes my nose look uneven a big time. It bothers me alot, and makes me lose my confidence. I would like to know how I can get this fixed.

John M. Hilinski, MD says:

It is much too early in the healing process to make any assessments. I have seen patients have moderate asymmetry of the nostrils and nasal base at this point in the healing who go on to have very nice results. Some of this may be due to asymmetrical swelling. Give it some time. Happy healing.

Does a hump on the nose grow during puberty?
Ronald J. Edelson, MD says:

Most people with nasal bumps notice they develop during their pubertal growth spurt so you situation is really quite typical.  I like to wait until that growth is completed before performing a rhinoplasty, so the youngest age for rhinoplasty is about 16 years of age.
