Is it possible to raise a nostril rim?

Thanks for your post. I would be interested to see your nasal photos to better verify your candidancy for such a procedure.It is possible to raise the rim of the nostril. A small wedge of skin can be directly excised from the alar rim. Another possibility is to remove/reposition the lateral crural cartilage along the alar rim; however, this would require a normal rhinoplasty approach. If the asymmetry is small it may not be worth it to pursue such correction. However, be sure to consult with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for an in-person examination. Best of luck!

A nostril can be raised by removing a small amount of skin and cartilage.  It is relatively easy to perform but the key is judging the right amount of skin and cartilage to be removed.  Otherwise the nostril can become raised compared to the other side.RegardsDr.J

It's not really possible to give you an answer without seeing your photos.  That would help make it clear exactly to what you are referring.  There are techniques available to both raise and lower the nostril margin, but not all are appropriate or possible for every person.  Please re-submit your question with photos for optimal feedback.  Thank you.
