Can my naturally uneven nostrils be fixed with surgery? (photo)

Thank you for your inquiry!



It seems that you are a good candidate
for a corrective rhinoplasty that will fix your naturally obvious asymmetry to complement your facial features in a natural manner. However, without a physical examination
it is not possible to provide you with specific details. I highly recommend
that you schedule a consultation with a well-experienced surgeon.



It is important to mention that the
finest cosmetic results in any particular case are based on a variety of
factors, including: the unique anatomy of the patient, realistic expectations,
a well-informed and detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon concerning
the best options for you especially covering a deep understanding of the pros
and cons of any given choice you will adopt.



Please keep in mind that following the
advice from a surgeon online who offers to tell you what to do without a
physical examination covering the nature and the status of the tissue,
assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the
pros and cons of each operative solution would not be in your best interest.
With that in mind, it is the safest and for your best interest to find a
plastic surgeon with solid experience and certified by the American Board of
Plastic Surgery who is ideally a member of the American Society of Plastic
Surgeons that you will trust and be comfortable with. You should discuss your
concerns with that surgeon in person.



Good luck!!!

If the nostril asymmetry is caused by a crooked nasal septum or crooked nasal bones correction of these underlying cartilage and bony abnormalities can improve your nostril shape.  However direct surgical intervention on the nostrils is unlikely to correct deformity that you have.  Please consult a very experienced expert plastic surgeon who does a great many rhinoplasties.

Yes a surgical intervention can improve the asymmetry in your nostrils. Best to seek ONLY IN PERSON opinions.
