Nostrils that differ in shape and size on the left and right
go beyond an appearance concern
and affect the balance of the center of the face.
This can also sometimes lead to
a drop in self-confidence.
Today, based on an actual case,
we will look at why correction of nostril asymmetry was needed.

What is nostril asymmetry?
Nostril asymmetry is a condition in which the size, shape, and position
of the left and right nostrils appear different,
and it can be caused by congenital or acquired factors.
It may only create an appearance issue,
but if it is severe, it can lead to nasal congestion or rhinitis,
so functional improvement may also need to be considered.

Condition before nostril correction
Ruho Plastic Surgery, near Sinsa Station
✅ Clear difference in the size and shape of the left and right nostrils
✅ The right nostril appears longer or wider
✅ Asymmetry is emphasized from a lower angle
The nose of the client who visited us
appeared to have nostril asymmetry
that affected the overall impression more than the rest of the nasal line.
In this surgery,
| ☝️ Difference in nostril height ☝️ Left-right thickness and elasticity of the alar wings ☝️ The pulling direction of the soft tissue in the lower nose |
were all considered together,
with the main focus placed on aligning them so that
the left and right sides would appear in similar positions.

Nostril asymmetry correction,
who is it needed for?
Correcting nostril asymmetry is a surgery that
restores a sense of alignment by balancing the left and right sides,
and aims to change the overall impression.
Our clinic's correction aimed to solve two issues:
natural balance suited to each person's face shape
and improved breathing.

Analysis 3 months after nostril correction
Ruho Plastic Surgery, near Sinsa Station
| 👍 The size and shape of the left and right nostrils improved in a balanced way 👍 The difference in nostril height was reduced 👍 The lower part of the nose looks neater |
Without excessive resizing,
the left and right sides were balanced to suit the face,
and the impression of the nose became cleaner.
Through nostril asymmetry correction,
the balance of the lower structure was naturally adjusted.
