Does my face look asymmetrical? How can I improve the overall symmetry? (Photos)

Question

Also I am very conscious about my nose shape so please suggest me what I can do for myself lwf.

Semih Yildiz, MD, FEBOPRAS · Answer

Both photos show your head tilted and the camera positioned at different distances, which changes the apparent alignment of the brows, eyes, nose and jaw. I can see mild side-to-side differences, including the nasal axis and cheek/jaw contour, but no obvious major deformity can be established from these casual images. Normal faces are not perfectly symmetrical.

Before considering surgery, obtain standardized straight-on, profile, three-quarter and smiling photographs and an in-person examination. The assessment should include nasal breathing, the dental bite and jaw position, because apparent nasal or lower-face asymmetry may come from several levels. Rhinoplasty should address a specific nasal feature that consistently bothers you, not a general goal of making the entire face symmetrical. Depending on the examination, the most appropriate plan may be observation, orthodontic/jaw assessment, or a limited procedure rather than multiple cosmetic treatments.

Based on your photos, you appear to have a bit of a broad and flat nasal appearance. Rhinoplasty techniques may be considered for achieving a narrower, and more defined nasal appearance. Please ensure that you're specialist has many favorable before and after photos in his Gallery, along with plenty of favorable consumer online reviews. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. A surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Fascial grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. 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.

If you have problem with your nose, you can do only rhinoplasty which is correct shape of your nose, nostrils(it will be narrow) and if you have any problems with your breathing it's too
