Nostril Asymmetry Before and After - Is there any way to improve nostril symmetry without undergoing a full revision? (Photos)

Asked By:user9916 in Los Angeles, California

I had a closed rhinoplasty 7 months ago because I didn’t like how wide my nose looked from the front. My surgeon said that correcting my deviated septum would even out my nostrils, which have always been naturally asymmetrical. Post-op, I do see an improvement—my bridge and tip look slimmer—but my nostrils are still noticeably uneven. I don’t really mind how they look from underneath, but the asymmetry is visible from the front. I also want to add that I have had no breathing issues, before or after the surgery. Essentially, I am happy with my nose overall, but the only problem is my nostrils. Is there any way to improve nostril symmetry without undergoing a full revision? Since my nostrils were always different in size and shape, is it even realistically fixable—and do you think it’s worth fixing at all?
