Nostril asymmetry rhinoplasty clarification - is it a common post-op issue?

October 1, 2022
Asked By:sweet_lavendar in Seattle, Washington

I have read more than a few times on realself doctor replies that say Nostril asymmetry is a common issue. I am trying to understand if this is a common issue before or after surgery. I would think not giving someone asymmetrical nostrils would be rhinoplasty 101. I am symmetrical nostrils and would like to get a nostril reduction. Is asymmetry a common post op issue?
