How to Fix Asymmetrical Nostrils? (photo)

August 11, 2012
Asked By:5to9

Hi, I'm 16 years old. I noticed one of my nostrils is slightly higher than the other one, its bothered me for years. When I look in the mirror its not too bad but in pictures, the camera accentuates it very badly. I'd like to get it fixed when I'm fully grown. 1. Is that possible & 2. Is it worth it? Also, I've never broken my nose or had plastic surgery. I do notice something weird, when I stretch my nose down by lowering my top lip, the cartilage above the smaller nostril silently "clicks."
