Best method to get more symmetrical alar base/nostrils? (Photos)

Asked By:ragazza121 in Seattle, Washington

I had rhinoplasty in 2014 to remove my dorsal hump and my doctor also resized my alar base with nostril repositioning to better match my new nose. I’m overall pleased with my nose apart from my nostrils being uneven- my right one is smaller and sits higher. Would reshaping the nostril with grafts or fixing my deviated septum give me a more symmetrical nose?
