A member asked:

I have 2 diff shaped nostril bones, is this common?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May need evaluation: There are no bones in the nostril only cartilage. If this asymmetry has been present since childhood, it is probably normal. If this is a change in our appearance then have it evaluated.
