What surgery would improve the shape of my nostrils/columella to make them more symmetrical? I feel that the septum moves slightly over to the left, is it normal to have an unsymmetrical nose? Thank you.

Answer: Nasal evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. Nasal asymmetry is very common. Your base view shows nostril asymmetry which could be due to a deviated caudal septum or your medial crural footplates. This can be improved with rhinoplasty. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon.

Answer: Asymmetric nostrils Hello and thank you for your question. It's hard to give you a definitive answer without an in person examination. Deviation of caudal septum and asymmetric alar cartilages are among the reasons to cause asymmetry in nostril size and shape. I would suggest that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon for a complete evaluation. Best,
