Uneven, odd looking nostrils after closed rhinoplasty. What can be done? (Photo)

Nostril asymmetry is often present before the surgery. The surgery will sometimes make the patient hyper-focused on analyzing the nose. Sometimes the asymmetries were already present; they just weren't discussed aloud. If they were not mentioned prior to surgery, it is often concerning when the patient does notice the differences. I would have a very honest conversation with your surgeon about what you see and what you want to obtain as a result. I would have a very honest conversation with your surgeon about what your expectations are and if they are achievable. If this is not possible, I sometimes recommend finding another American Board of Plastic Surgery Certified Plastic Surgeon. I would recommend finding one with experience in rhinoplasty.

Hi! Thanks for your question. Asymmetries in the nostrils after any form of rhinoplasty can occur. I see what you're referring to. I don't think filler is going to help much. At 2 months, things can change. I often encourage patients to stretch the nostril downward as the nose is "moldable" the first few months. If not, something like a composite graft can be performed in clinic and should help.
