Can nostril asymmetry be fixed as a minor procedure? (Photo)

Affectionate867172Nov 17, 2023

The shorter nostril has a big bump inside near the tip of nose. It looks a lot better than before, and I’m not looking to get major work done, so if it’s a huge revision I’ll probably pass. I am hoping it’s stuff that can be fixed minimally invasively or with local anesthesia. I am seeing my doctor in a month!
