What is Nasal Asymmetry?
Nasal asymmetry occurs when the nose appears uneven, crooked, or imbalanced in shape.
This can affect the nostrils, the bridge, or the entire nasal structure, often disrupting facial harmony. Asymmetry may be caused by genetics, injury, or previous surgeries.
Common Causes
- Genetics: Natural variations in bone or cartilage structure.
- Trauma: Injuries leading to misalignment of nasal bones or cartilage.
- Deviated Septum: A structural issue that can cause the nose to appear crooked.
- Surgical Outcomes: Residual asymmetry after previous nasal surgeries.

Functional Impact
In some cases, nasal asymmetry isn’t just a cosmetic concern—it can also lead to breathing difficulties due to structural irregularities.
Nasal asymmetry isn’t always just a cosmetic concern. Structural irregularities can also disrupt the normal flow of air through the nose, leading to:
- Breathing difficulties
- Chronic nasal congestion
- Snoring or sleep apnea

NASAL ASYMMETRY: UNDERSTANDING, CAUSES, AND TREATMENT OPTIONS
Nasal asymmetry occurs when the two sides of the nose are not perfectly symmetrical, which is a common condition since most people have slight asymmetries in their facial features. While minor asymmetry is normal and often unnoticeable, more pronounced nasal asymmetry can impact facial harmony, self-esteem, and even nasal function.
WHAT IS NASAL ASYMMETRY?
Nasal asymmetry refers to an imbalance in the size, shape, or position of the nostrils, nasal tip, bridge, or other nasal structures. It can manifest as:
- A crooked or deviated nasal bridge.
- One nostril appearing larger or differently shaped than the other.
- A twisted or uneven nasal tip.
- Disproportionate alignment of the nose in relation to the rest of the face.
CAUSES OF NASAL ASYMMETRY
Diagnosing Nasal Asymmetry Diagnosis typically begins with a physical examination by a healthcare professional, such as an otolaryngologist (ENT specialist) or a plastic surgeon. Diagnostic steps may include: Detailed facial analysis to assess asymmetry. Functional testing to evaluate breathing and airflow. Imaging studies, such as CT scans or X-rays, to examine internal nasal structures.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Paul Wilson Aesthetic Clinic! From the initial consultation to the final results, the team was incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in my comfort and satisfaction.
Paul’s expertise and eye for detail are unmatched; he listened closely to my goals and tailored the treatment to achieve exactly what I envisioned—natural, refined, and truly beautiful results. The clinic itself is warm and welcoming, and I appreciated the option for a free video consultation, which made the entire process so convenient. Highly recommend to anyone seeking top-tier aesthetic care!
