Repair of Left Nostril Larger Than the Right?

gladiator
I want an overall nose reshaping operation including the sinus/nasal surgery on top. I have a bent/blocked/large nose & one nostril is bigger. Also my left nostril is like a kidney bean shape that curves into the tip of my nose due to a previous operation. I also have a nasal/sinus problem, blocked nose. A previous ENT surgeon in India has made my left nostril larger than my right, which took place in April 2008. Is it possible to fix this? Problem: -Deviated septum? Only a guess. -Difficulty breathing; nasal obstruction of some sort, bent nasal deformity? Only a guess. -Bent nose (dented in the left side). -Left nostril larger than the right nostril in length and width, (like a kidney bean shape, curving into the tip of my nose). -Large nostrils. -Wide nose. -Large/chubby nasal tip. -Wide bridge. -Large nose as a whole. -Left nostril is hollow and feels awkward/irritable due to previous surgery. Hoping from Surgery: -Airway clear so I can breathe. -Unblocked nose. -A straight symmetrical nose. -Less chubby nasal tip. -Narrow bridge. -Wide nose brought in. -Smaller nostrils that are less wide and flared. I want an overall nostril reduction, but not too much. -I want my left nostril adjusted in its length/width as well, so it is the same size as the right nostril again. Extra: Hope I don’t get no “piggy” effect, also hopefully the cosmetic surgery will decrease my piggy look.
