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?

Answer: Tip and nostril asymmetry The tip is bulbous and cartilage removal will make it smaller and more defined. However, the nostrils might not become symmetric as there is muscle tone involved in positioning of nostrils and that cannot be changed. RegardsDr. Janjua

Answer: I have bulbous cartilage on one side of my nose; what is the treatment? Hello,Thanks for your question. I believe that you would benefit from a tip rhinoplasty to manage your tip asymmetry. When performed skillfully, a tip rhinoplasty can blend in nicely to the rest of the nose that doesn't bother you. I would recommend that you consult with a rhinoplasty specialist who had a lot of experience with tip rhinoplasty to see Before and After photos, have simulations performed, and get a better idea of what isolated tip surgery might create for you. Good luck,Dr. Shah
