I never broke my nose, but I DID press on the bridge of it a lot because there is a bump on it (i looked up nose exercises online and it said that you could flatten ur nose bump with pressure...i was desperate so i tried it). I've pressed on it for years, actually (body dysmorphia). I could breathe perfectly through my nostrils until I was 16, I could no longer breathe through the right side. I've recently been told I had a deviated septum! Did I cause this? And why are my nostrils asymmetric?
Answer: Septo Hello,A deviated septum means that the wall in the middle of your nose is tilted. This can cause uneven nostrils and breathing difficulties. I do not believe that you caused this. To fix a deviated septum tiny incisions inside the nose (no external cuts or scars) to access the deviated portions of septal cartilage and bone. We then removes or straightens these deviated portions in order to rebuild a completely straight septum for 100% patient nasal cavities for enhanced breathing for life.All the best, Deepak Dugar, MDScarless Rhinoplasty ExpertBeverly Hills, CA 90210

Answer: Asymmetric nostrils Difference in size is not huge. Symmetry is very rare in human noses if you. If you're bored by this could definitely be corrected surgically but I will not recommended at this point

Answer: Asymmetry is normal, deviated septum is common Some patients develop a deviated septum from severe trauma to the nose, such as with nasal fractures. Most of the people that have deviated septums simply have it and did not have any trauma. The septum just was deviated at birth or became deviated with growth. Deviated septums are very common and if they cause breathing difficulty you can usually get insurance to cover a septoplasty to improve your breathing. Asymmetric nostrils are completely normal. No human beings has perfectly symmetric nostrils, arms, legs, etc. on both sides. Some asymmetry is always normal if you look closely enough. Your small differences are easily within the range of normal and nothing to be embarrassed about! -Dr. David Mattos, New York Plastic Surgical Group

Answer: Nasal septal deformity can cause nostril asymmetry A nasal septal deformity or a curve in the nasal septum can often cause nostril asymmetry. It sounds as though you have had an intranasal examination and my presumption is that the doctor who performed this is correct and that you have a nasal septal deviation.Often a septoplasty can correct this problem.

Answer: Asymmetry of the nostrils this is very common and U did not cause a yourself. There are changes to the skin as far as thickness is concerned and rigidity of the nose overall as you age. This is particularly true as you go through puberty. You did nothing to cause this but you may have breathing issues related to the deviated septum and nostril asymmetry.
