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: Reversible Facial Fillers Hello! Without the benefit of an in person exam, you may be a candidate for in office fillers to give a straighter appearance. I have successfully done that before and the results last many years as the area is static. The filler I use is also reversible if for some reason you don’t like it. No recovery and a much lower price point make this a frequent first choice. Plus you can participate in the process by periodically looking in a mirror during the procedure. The other alternative is a surgical procedure.

Answer: Uneven nose Dear Cynthia Nasal asymmetry is a common complaint and can generally be improved with rhinoplasty. Certain types of asymmetry including facial asymmetry with differences in the vertical height of the left or right side of the face and specially vertical differences between the positioning of the left and right ala in terms of height cannot be fully corrected. In these cases improvement is your best option. If it's reassuring, most other people Will not recognize this type of asymmetry. Look for an experienced and well-trained plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of plastic surgery, see more than one consultation and make a well informed decision.

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.
