My nostril holes are a different shape/size. I’m curious to find out what causes this. My husbands nostril holes are identical. What causes this and is this normal? Is it something people often seek to fix and how can it be fixed?

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Rhinoplasty can be designed to improve your nostril symmetry. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon.

Answer: Nostril holes? Thanks for writing,Welcome to the human body, we are asymmetrical everywhere, breast, butts, belly etc. Very few people talk to a face looking up at the bottom of the nose. When looking at your nose from the bottom view you can see your right cheek is a little smaller than your left cheek, something that falls within the asymmetry of the body.I understand your concern but an attempt to improve this, in my estimation is a long expensive stretch for a short gain.I hope this helps.Stephen M.
