Straightening the crooked nose

Andrew P. Trussler, 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.

To straighten the crooked nose usually involves dealing with multiple components, including the nasal bones and the septum. I would appraoch this with an open septo-rhinoplasty with straightening of the bones with nasal osteotomies and a septoplasty with possible internal cartilage grafts. Very common problem and if you have not had a previous rhinoplasty or significant trauma it should be correctable. I hope this helps.
