Options for progressively crooked nose?

Yes, you do appear to have a septal deviation.  Our noses do change over time as the soft tissue and fat diminishes, and deviations in the cartilage therefore become more apparent.  In addition, the tip of the nose tends to droop with age as well.  I would recommend seeing a surgeon experienced... more

Noses do change with time, just like other parts of our body. Go to a retirement home and look  at the residents;  they did not have those noses all of their lives.  However, the deviation may have been present all of your life, but is now visible because of changes in the skin and subcutaneous... more

Hello, With time, a nose may appear longer since it can droop. This is known as "nasal ptosis." Also, the nose may become more twisted due to a deviated septum. Hope this helps answer your question. Dr. Nassif

 Nasal deviations are the rule as opposed to the exception.  You may not have noticed it when you were younger, or as one person suggesting, the soft tissues just got a bit thinner and the deviation is more noticeable.

The most common cause is from prior rhinoplasty surgery.  Certain surgically techniques tend to weaken the nose and allow for scar tissue to pull the nose in one direction.  In viewing your photos, it appears as if you have had... more

The photo you posted shows a slight concavity on the left side of your nose. If you're otherwise happy with your nose, and just want it straighter, consider consulting a specialist experienced using Injectable Fillers in the nose. This can be quite gratifying, and there is no downtime. I've attached a link to... more

 When we are young we have a great deal of fat in our face and nose. This often hides an underlying deviation which only shows up as we age. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon and you should have airway improvement as well as a straighter nose.

 It is possible for a minor deviation to show more over the years and make the nose appear more crooked. Straightening the septum alone will not and should not change the external shape of the nose, as it is usually the procedure to help with breathing problems. If you want to correct the crooked shape of... more

Hi Kipman, Was your nose "perfectly straight" after having had rhinoplasty many years ago?  Sometimes a "straight" result will appear crooked as a few years go by as scar contracture occurs, especially if enough structural support was not left in the nose. If you have never had nasal... more
