One nostril sits higher than the other and has more cartilage than the other - makes nose look crooked. What can be done?

My nose is straight, but it doesn't look that way because my left nostril is attached a little higher than my right nostril and has more cartilage than the right. Can this be corrected? Can the right nostril be brought up higher and can the excess cartilage be taken away?
