Can this collapsed nostril be fixed to be symmetrical to the other? (Photo)

Question

Had rhino and one nostril looks collapsed from the bottom. Can this one nostril be fixed to be symmetrical to the other? If so, how? And how accurate can it be?

Richard G. Reish, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a revision rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include placement of extended alar contour grafts, tensioning of the tip, among other maneuvers. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
