Hello, I wanted to get some more information on rhinoplasty. I have a slightly asymmetric nose which I believe was caused by damage in my childhood. It feels as though the wall or cartilage in the centre of my nose on one side is missing/has a hole in it, meaning that my nose seems to pull slightly off centre. I would be keen to know if this is something that can be corrected so as to be more symmetrical and what such a procedure would entail? For reference I am a 29 year old woman. Thanks, Teresa
