I have bulbous cartilage on one side of my nose; what is the treatment? (photo)

May 22, 2017
Asked By:anniekaitlyn in Vienna, VA

The asymmetry is exclusive to the cartilage (as far as I can tell). It also affects the size on my nostril (larger on my right side). Would this require a traditional nose job?
