Crooked nose.

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: How to fix hereditary crooked nose?

Is there any way to fix a hereditary crooked nose? I know it's hereditary because my mom's nose is exactly the same, but she can put makeup and play with the shadows. It's like the bone on the bottom because it seems like the bone on one side is bigger and one side smaller, so like my whole nose is crooked.

There may be many reasons for this condition including uneveness of the facial bones with realtive overgrowth or undergrowth on one side or the other. Improvements can be achieved with rhinoplasty but a perfectly straight nose may not be necessarily realistic. Seel evaluation by an experienced surgeon to learn about your options.
