Will a nose job make my face more symmetrical?

Question

I’m currently looking to see if it’s possible to get a more symmetrical face. Doctors say my jaw is naturally slanted but I would rather not go down that route.

Hi! This is Arzu from Dr. Caner Kacmaz clinic. You are a good candidate for rhinoplasty but if you send us your full face photos we can tell you if you need something else.
Kind regards

Your nose is leaning towards one side.  There would be definite improvement with correcting this.  It will not correct the rest of the facial asymmetry but will correct the leaning of the nose.

Best Wishes,

All people are asymmetrical. this is true for the face and body. I even the brain is asymmetrical. People are either right, handed or left handed.
Excepting asymmetry as the norm and standard for all people alleviate a lot of concerns regarding normal asymmetry.
During embryological development, the two sides of the face develop independently from each other. They eventually fused in the midline. Facial asymmetry is primarily based on bone structure. Soft tissue coverage tends to be far more consistent.
Attempting to treat, skeletal, based asymmetry with soft tissue manipulation, generally just create separate asymmetries
The human brain is accustomed to seeing a symmetrical faces as being normal.Viewing computer generated, perfectly symmetrical faces have strange, unfamiliar appearances that are less attractive than the normal, typical asymmetrical face.
Based on your picture, your degree of asymmetry appears to be within one standard deviation.
I see no need for intervention or surgery
