Is my nose asymmetrical?

Question

Is my nose asymmetrical? I've noticed that one side is pushed in than the other and I've never had surgery. Also, I've heard that if you can move the tip of your nose that's not normal? Idk if that's true, but when I do move it I hear a born cracking?? I've never had any nose trauma so I'm confused and kinda worried. Thank you to all in advance and sorry I look crazy in these photos, I also don't know why the pics are sideways

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Any difference in the size or shape of the nose from one side to the other is considered asymmetry. From the photos, there doesn't appear to be apparent asymmetry. The nose is made up of bone, with paired cartilages on the sides below the bone and paired cartilages forming the tip of the nose. Asymmetry can occur with or without trauma. The cartilages are somewhat flexible and can move some side to side and vertically. This is normal. Share your concerns with your physician, and if necessary, they can refer you to a specialist in nasal surgery to completely evaluate all of the nasal structures and correct any that are abnormal or any that you desire to be modified or changed.

You would only consider rhinoplasty if there are elements of your nose that you don't like.  From the pictures it looks to me like some tip refinement would be an attractive change, but this is only to be considered if it something you are concerned about.  Asymmetry is normal; have a rhinoplasty if you want one (choose a surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery and beware of other so-called "boards").
