Hi, I feel my Nostrils are asymmetrical and there is too much cartilage (is it septal cartilage) showing inside my nostrils. I also feel the tip is bulbous and my nose appears too big and too turned up for my face. Would reduction of this cartilage inside my nostrils be possible? And would this improve nostril shape? I want my nose and nostrils to be smaller and symmetrical, and my tip/nose more narrow and refined. What would need to be done to achieve this? Thanks!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. This can also be designed to help improve nostril symmetry. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.
