My nostril's are not symmetrical, how can I fix this? (photos)

Thanks for your question.

The nostrils do appear asymmetric from worms eye view, however, from the frontal view, your nose is not very asymmetric.  Most people who see you, will see your nose from the front.  While you could undergo surgery for the nostril position, trying to correct it from the bottom might put you at risk for changing the shape of the nose from the front which could be more unfavorable if you don't like the result.  



I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area and have a full examination and evaluation for nasal symmetry, breathing, and operative plan to help you prioritize what is best for you.

Hope that helps,

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you may benefit from alar batten grafts to improve nostril symmetry.  Make sure you specifically look at before and after
pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon
and not just a computer animation system. The most important
aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

More than a deviation, you have a small asymmetry between the left and right side of your face. Everybody has a small asymmetry and that shows in the positions and shape of every part of the face, can be the position and shape of the brows, lips, ears, etc. A non surgical option cannot fix the asymmetry on your nostrils, it will be with a surgery to decrease the alar flaring and for the tip of the nose a rhinoplasty to improve the symmetry on that area. Please consult with a Board Certified Surgeon, with an in person consultation, to discuss your goals and to understand the procedure and limitations for the surgery.
