Nostril asymmetry follow-up query, now 8 months post op - options?

July 17, 2022
Asked By:Magical620316 in Jackson, New Jersey

Right nostril shape is slanted and skinny compared to left nostril shape is wide and open. Left nostril alar rim is higher than the right. Is an alarplasty or injections a good option for correction? Are there any other options? I have added more photos although photos can’t fully show how bad the asymmetry is. The right nostril also is always congested, I have nasal whistling and difficulty breathing.

Will rib cartilage harvest affect my ribs as far as strength of the ribs?
Timothy Osborn, MD says:

Overall, it depends on how much cartilage is needed and where they take it from. Generally speaking, it is usually a small amount taken from the lower ribs, and should not cause issues later. For the most part, it should also repair itself over time. Although I would advise not getting tackled...

Bone like bump on nose tip after rib rhinoplasty. Anything I can do to fix it? (Photo)
Marc Polacco, MD says:

Thank you for your question. Most likely, the bump you're feeling is the rib graft, which is used to project the nose and give it support.
