Can you advise on raised alar cartilage? 1 side of nose bigger than other (Photos)

April 16, 2023
Asked By:CNEWB003 in Pensacola, Florida

My left nostril has a bump on it that makes my nose look crooked. One side is larger than the other on the outside. The nostrils themselves are even and fine. I am a 33 year old male and I have only noticed this problem in the past two years. I did call around to a few plastic surgeons and they recommended I see an ENT first. I may have not explained my problem correctly because they thought it was a deviated septum issue. I am looking for a doctor in North Florida. Thanks!!
