Can Asymmetrical Nostrils Be Corrected with Rhinoplasty?

Hello,

this is VN Plastic Surgery.

When looking at yourself in the mirror, there are quite a few people who are dissatisfied because their nostrils look asymmetrical.

Some of those people come to VN because they want to make changes to their nostrils.

Today, I’ll talk about how asymmetrical nostrils can be corrected through rhinoplasty.

First, I’ll explain three causes of asymmetrical nostrils.

First, it can be caused by the columella.

Depending on its length, position, and angle, the left-right balance of the nasal tip can vary.

Second, the septal cartilage is also one of the causes.

If the center is off or bent,

the direction of the nasal bridge or nostrils can appear different.

Third, the alar base is the final cause,

and it may look different due to differences in the shape of the cartilage on each side or in skin thickness and fat distribution.

By taking these causes together,

VN rhinoplasty corrects asymmetry by focusing on the columella.

We correct a bent septal cartilage to restore the center,

reinforce the columellar support to adjust the asymmetrical angle,

and, if necessary, use autologous cartilage

to correct the height and direction of the nasal tip.

In addition, VN rhinoplasty

designs a customized surgery while also considering scars,

so that scars are not easily visible from the front.

Depending on each person’s skin type, the position and

length of the incision line are carefully designed.

Because VN rhinoplasty is based on 3D-CT,

we identify the most ideal

nose shape and line through precise diagnosis,

and based on the center of the face,

we help create natural and harmonious nostril symmetry.

After VN rhinoplasty is performed in this way,

a temporary illusion of asymmetry may occur due to swelling,

but since this is a natural part of the recovery process,

it can gradually resolve over time.

If you are worried because of asymmetrical nostrils,

we recommend visiting VN, where precise diagnosis is possible,

and receiving help from a team of medical professionals.
