I have a problem with the right side of my nose. It doesnt seem to have any cartilage and therefore is extremely wider and uneven than the other side. I don't know who to go to for some answers if it can even be fixed.

Answer: Nasal Asymmetry Thank you for the question and the photos. Improvements in nasal symmetry can be achieved with a comprehensive rhinoplasty, including alar base modification (nostril reshaping). It is important to note that in many cases of nasal asymmetry, there is concomitant facial skeletal asymmetry. This cannot be corrected with rhinoplasty and may require complex dental or orthognathic procedures. Best of luck moving forward!

Answer: What can be done for my extremely uneven nose of just one side? (Photo) Yes, your nasal asymmetry can be resolved partially or completely by rhinoplasty. Underlying bone and cartilage determines shape and size of the nose. Rhinoplasty is an operation upon this framework to re-size, re-shape, and re-build the nose into a feature that matches your desire. Overlying skin re-drapes over the new framework so it appears natural, like nothing ever happened.
