One nostril is different to the other one year post surgery. How can this asymmetry be fixed? (Photo)

Question

I had a rhinoplasty a year ago. Only one side of the nose was operated on to build out an indent. In doing so, the surgeon has given me a straight edge to the nostril, whereas the other side remains the shape it was. I can’t bear the asymmetry and want to either change the unworked on nostril to look like the straight one or the straight one to be changed back to match the other side. Some might say don’t bother but to me it looks so uneven. What procedure could fix this? Is it “doable”. Could filler help? Consultations cost hundreds and so far I’ve been told it’s not something that’s worth doing

If your main concern about your nose is that your left nostril is higher than your right, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe considered for lowering the high side, for improved nostril symmetry on front view. Thank you so much for this question, and I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question Nostril asymmetry one year after rhinoplasty can usually be corrected with a minor surgical revision. The procedure typically involves refining the cartilage or soft tissue on the affected side to restore
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!
