Rhinoplasty: Q&A
Ask a QuestionWould I Benefit from a Nose Job? (photo)
I was told I have a deviated septum which is why my nose looks slightly crooked. I also have a bump on my nose and I feel like I have a droopy tip. I have been insecure about my nose for years and I'm wondering if I would really benefit from rhinoplasty and if so, what I should probably get done.

Correction of the deviated nose and bulbous tip in rhinoplasty
Thanks very much for the question and photos. The bridge of your nose is deviated, which is the result of deviation of your nasal bones and septum. This could be the result of a prior fracture. Additionally, your bridge is slightly convex and your tip is on the bulbous side. The tip of your nose could certainly be lifted a bit, if you so desire.
I think you would be a very good candidate for a rhinoplasty (nosejob). The bridge could be straightened with a combination of osteotomies (tiny...

Rhinoplasty for Crooked Nose
If you have unilateral breathing problems, the septum could be one problem as well as internal nasal valve or turbinates. The external changes you want can be achieved with rhinoplasty.

This nose is significantly crooked enough that there probably is a deviated septum. What is obvious from the outside of the nose is that it appears that the nasal bones have been fractured and the upper lateral cartilage on the patient’s right side is herniated downward and inward around the...

Septorhinoplasty can improve breathing
A procedure to correct your septum at the same time as the rhinoplasty is the best. Sometimes the cartilage harvested from the septum can make grafts that are very useful for shaping the nose.

He/she will be able to morph a photo of you and give you an idea of how the final result of surgery may appear. I hope this helps, and I wish you the...

Benefits of rhinoplasty
Thank you for the photos. Based on what I see here externally I could see it's likely you do have a deviated septum. The septoplasty would be covered by insurance but it would not change the appearance of your nose when done through the typical endonasal approach. Improving the appearance of your nose would include septoplasty, possible spreader grafts, reduction of the lower lateral cartilages of the nasal tip to make it less round. you'll also need a reduction of the hump to...
