Nostril Asymmetry After Rhinoplasty - simple fix or revision? (Photos)

May 29, 2025
Asked By:Charming197700 in Los Angeles, California

I recently had a rhinoplasty. While I’m happy with the results from the side profile, I’ve noticed that my nostrils are asymmetrical. This asymmetry is really bothering me. My surgeon has suggested an in-office procedure using cartilage grafted from my ear to correct it. Before moving forward, I wanted to get a second opinion. Given that the initial surgery didn’t achieve nostril symmetry, I’m unsure whether this is a relatively simple fix or if I should consider seeing a different surgeon for the revision.
