Answer: Nonsurgical vs surgical rhinoplasty Thank you for your question and photos. Your nose has a lean to the left and middle part is concave a little bit. A non surgical rhinoplasty can help fill the right side to contour it and make it look straighter. It has limitations however because you can only add, and nose can appear longer or broader. The surgical approach is likely more ideal for you. You can expect to have a straighter a nose and more symmetry. But you should be aware that perfect straightness, perfect nostril size, and perfect symmetry is very difficult to achieve in a nose that is already crooked and depends on several factors, not just surgical technique. Discuss your expectations with your prospective surgeons and decide based on what they tell you. Good luck

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question and photographs.Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do to permanently correct the things you are unhappy with about your nose nonsurgically. It appears that you would benefit from tip refinement and an alarplasty. A tip rhinoplasty includes trimming the lower lateral cartilages and placing precision sutures to refine the tip and make it look more pleasing. An alarplasty is the technique that is commonly used for nostril reduction and this procedure consists of making an incision on the inside or outside of the nostrils then removing a specific amount of tissue to make them smaller and more symmetrical. I hope this helps. Best of luck in your endeavors!Sincerely,
