Will Septoplasty Correct Uneven Nostrils?

In most cases, deviation of the nasal septum causes
obstruction of the nasal airway and curvature of the nose.Under these circumstances a septoplasty can
relieve airway obstruction, but a rhinoplasty is usually necessary to
straighten the nose.In your
case, the distal septum has curved to one side and appears to be protruding
into the nostril, distorting the nostril and creating asymmetry.Under
these circumstances, septoplasty can re-position the distal septum into a
midline position.In many cases this is
enough to correct nostril asymmetry.Unfortunately the cause of nostril asymmetry, is usually multifactorial
and other anatomic components may require treatment as well.This may require a rhinoplasty.If
you’re concerned about nostril asymmetry, consultation with a board certified
plastic surgeon is appropriate.This
surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your
concerns.

Yes it can. If its the only cause. Remember caudal deflection of the septum are technically difficult so the success rate is less than you or the surgeon wants.

Traditional septoplasty corrects the internal parts of the septum that are blocking the nasal air passages. The bottom edge of the septum, which lies between the nostrils, is generally not altered in traditional septoplasty. So the nostril shape or crooked base of the nose would not change.

However, this area of the septum can be repositioned or replaced during septo-rhinoplasty. The bottom of the septum (caudal margin) determines the shape and position of the columella, the skin between the nostrils. So with septo-rhinoplasty your nostril shape may be restored to a symmetrical orientation.
