Why does my nose look like that 4 years post-op & could a minor procedure fix it? (Photos)

Question

Hi there! I had a rhinoplasty right after I turned 18 (4 years ago now), but as years go by my nostrils seem to become asymmetrical. It's not very noticable on selfies, but with flash/inverted pictures my nose ends up looking so asymmetrical - could it be fixed with a minor procedure (I'm scared to go under general anesthesia again)?

Based on your photos, you appear to have a pleasing nasal appearance. I can see if the base few of your nose that you have a bit of nostril retraction on both sides with one worse than the other. In our experience, conditions like this may be well-suited for microdroplets Silikon 1000 injections to reduce the upside down V appearance and to create a rounder nostril margin appearance with better symmetry.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, a small amount of filler may best help this nostril asymmetry. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
