Just wondering if I have what many say is a deviated septum. Just wondering what it would cost for a more symmetrical look.
Answer: Deviated septum Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you have a deviated septum and may benefit from septoplasty and a septal reset. This can be safely combined with rhinoplasty during the same surgical procedure. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Answer: Asymptomatic deviated septum It appears that you have a deviated septum, but if you do not have any breathing problems and you like the way your nose looks, as a specialist in rhinoplasty surgery, I would recommend not doing surgery. No two nostrils are exactly alike so it is normal to have slight differences from one side to the other. If the difference bothers you, surgery would be recommended. Please keep in mind that from normal angles, the nostril asymmetry does not show. The cost of the procedure would vary based on location, the surgeon's experience and the facility it's performed in.

Answer: Your nostrils are sisters not twins! A little difference between the nostrils is very common, and very normal.

Answer: Nostril asymmetry The main reasons to have surgery on the nose would be for either cosmetic purposes (appearance) or for functional purposes (nasal breathing). If a patient is breathing fine through the nose, there is no reason to perform surgery on a deviated septum.

Answer: Nostrils not matching It is probably one of the more common questions my patients ask. It is normal for nostrils to be different in size or shape. Nostrils typically do not effect breathing unless they are very small or collapse while breathing. No surgery is necessary if there is no problem with breathing through the nose.
