Can my Nostrils Be Made More Even? (photo)

February 5, 2013
Asked By:jennytacosII

I didn't know what else to categorize this as but rhinoplasty... I have noticed in recent years that one of my nostrils is noticeably more flat that the other and lower. I find that it is very obvious in pictures and I feel it is detracting from the general symmetry of my face. However I'm worried a surgeon would say that this problem is too minor, or that it is too difficult to achieve good results. In fact I don't even know if a procedure to fix this exists. I think it will only get worse.
