Having trouble pinpointing what is causing this - What are common ways to fix nose asymmetry? (photos)

Question

I recognize that everyone has a degree of asymmetry in their faces, but in my 3/4 profile it seems especially apparent in my case - although I'm having trouble pinpointing exactly why and what is causing the asymmetry, and therefore how I can treat it? The nose and something in the bone structure?

Thank you for providing images along with your question. While you already appear to have an attractive profile based on your photos, asymmetries are better assessed during a proper evaluation. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Such experts will have the optimal skills, as well as artistry and knowledge of facial aesthetics, harmony, and proportion, helping you achieve the most natural-looking results. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your skin and facial profile, discuss your concerns and goals, recommend the best procedure(s), and ensure the best possible outcome.

Unfortunately, these are not good photos to give you any meaningful advise about rhinoplasty. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty, possibly 3D simulation would help to clarify your problem and solution. Good luck.

On the left side there is a mild raised area. It is inconsequential and is not effecting the beauty of your nose. I would recommend to leave it alone.

I can't pinpoint the asymmetry either. However to me your face looks quite attractive and I would advise against any procedures to try to make it symmetrical.

Peter Callan, MBBS, FRACS, MBA · Answer

Hi there. It’s hard to tell without more photos but I would guess that from the front your nasal tip is slightly deviated to the right, or the middle part of your nose is slightly deviated to the left. This usually explains such asymmetries in three quarter views. Asymmetry in the tip cartilages can also be a cause. It looks relatively minor however. 
I hope this helps.
