Am I a candidate for a septorhinoplasty? Severe asymmetry and nasal obstruction (Photo)

January 13, 2023
Asked By:dchri5

Am I candidate for this procedure? Severe asymmetry and nasal obstruction on left side. Although it appears that I have large, open nostrils (which I hate), I cannot breathe out of my left nostril almost at all throughout the day and the few moments I can, it's just barely. When I lay down, I 100% cannot breathe through my nose at all. I also broke my nose a few years back so the bone is crooked (pushed to the right). Please help
