Asked By:helpmetoo in San Francisco, CA

I've had surgery 19 years ago because I complained that I couldn't breath, which wasn't the real case. I didn't like how my nose looked. I was a teenager then. The ENT doctor tried to cut my nostrils to be even and sticked it up, and it was ok for then, but now I want it fixed. I got a filler recently and the pic below shows the results. But, I am just still not happy. I do not have a problem breathing. Can a doctor just somehow cut it and stitch it where is should go?

Answer: To understand the nostrils, you often have to look beyond them to the tip
