The crooked nose can result from a deviated septum and may get progressively worse as one ages. In addition, incidental trauma or sports related trauma or just bumping your nose hard enough can cause further progression of the crooked nose over time. Furthermore, as we age the tissues weaken and an inherently bent septum can result in further deviation of the nose over time much like a bridge which begins to weaken and collapse due to use and stress. The good news is that surgery can be done to straighten the bend and strengthen the underlying structure so that further bending over time can be avoided. My only advice there is to see a facial plastic surgeon who is both experienced in internal and external nasal surgery since correcting a crooked nose is a more difficult nose surgery or rhinoplasty than performing a nose surgery on someone to improve the appearance in a person with a straight nose. I hope this information helps.
