Asked By:whyymee in Placentia, CA

I don't even know how or why, but my nose is significantly smaller on one side than on the other. Perhaps its from hitting it on a metal bar as a child, and never having it looked at. I feel like its stunted its growth as well, as it still has the same shape as a child's/infant's nose. I'm not too unhappy with the shape, but I definitely want that smaller side fixed to match the other side....... can that even be done?? Someone please help me :(
