My nostrils are uneven 1 year after rhinoplasty. Is there an easy way to fix this, and how much would it cost? (Photo)

Asked By:EPL in Minnesota, MN

I underwent a rhinoplasty/ septoplasty about 11 months ago. I like my nose overall, but would like to know my options for bringing down the rim of my right nostril to even them out from the front. Would this be a quick and relatively easy, low risk procedure that could be done after 1 year out? And what would be the cost estimate? Any recommendations of surgeons that perform this regularly would be appreciated as well. Thanks!
