Hi, I have one nose alar higher than the other , I could hardly feel it before rhinoplasty but now it is causing the whole tip to go to one side specially when I smile . Is there anything that could be done ? thank you.

Answer: Nasal Alar Repositioning The higher ala can be repositioned down lower if desired through a simple procedure done under local anesthesia.

Answer: Alar symmetry issues HiYou do not need another surgery. This is a very subtle asymmetry which is perfectly normal and was most likely present before your original nose job because your right nostril attaches higher to the lip-cheek junction than the other side. The two sides of the face are not perfectly symmetric. You are most likely just paying extremely close attention to something that was always there and cannot be easily corrected so just leave it alone. Nothing on the face is a mirror image of its other side in 85% of us.
