Surgery for crooked noe and septal deviation

Stella Desyatnikova, MD answers: Options for progressively crooked nose?

My nose used to be perfectly staight and over the years it is getting progressively more crooked. My ENT says that I have a deviated septum and that I probably had it, but if you compare pictures from 10 years ago to now, there is a big difference. Any ideas?

 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 your nose, even though admittedly it is pretty minor, you are looking at having a rhinoplasty. Talk to an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon and review the before and after to make sure you like the results before committing to surgery.
