The asymmetry has been increasing over the years and is now quite noticeable and bugs me. Tried injections ("non surgical nose job"), didn't do much. Is there any way to pull the drooping side up or the high side down or a combo? What % improvement could I expect? Is it possible to correct without creating an external scar?

Answer: Nostril asymmetry Nostril asymmetry can be fixed (based on bottom view); as it seems that your left medial foot plate is more generous than the right side; this can be tucked in; unfortunately, I cannot tell whether your tip is straight or deviated as well; what you need is a frontal view that shows your entire nose. If your problem is only nostril shape, this can be fixed using cadaveric cartilage grafts.

Answer: Can Nostril Asymmetry be Fixed? Dear flamingocactus, I would suggest that you seek consultations with some experts in the field of rhinoplasty surgery. Your asymmetry may be related to a deviated septum and your nasal tip cartilages. Once an examination is performed a proper diagnosis can be made and a surgical plan can be put into place.
