I have had three rhinoplastys. From what I can see years later, my skin looks like it has thinned and now I can see a hard cartilage graft that was placed on the tip of my nose.

Your assymetry is not only at the nostrils, the whole nose has two assymetrical sides and there is not technique in no one's hands to achieve symmetry.
