Is there a way to straighten my nose without surgery? (Photos)

Hello,Thanks for your question. You can visually improve the deviation in your nose using non-surgical rhinoplasty. This involves the injection of filler material to offset minor asymmetries and irregularities in the nose, creating the appearance of a straighter nose. If you have an actually septal deviation, a septoplasty procedure could be performed to anatomically correct the malposition of your nose, and allow you to breathe better as well. I would recommend that you consult with a rhinoplasty specialist to discuss this further. I would be happy to speak with you at my office in Cherry Creek if you so desired.Take care,Dr. Shah

Dear Princesslife,Thank you for your question and pictures. Based on your pictures, you may benefit from non-surgical rhinoplasty using fillers to help improve any asymmetries in the nose. This will not correct any breathing problems associated with a deviated septum. If you do choose to have rhinoplasty done, you would need a septorhinoplasty to address both the breathing problems and any cosmetic concerns you have. Best regards,Nima Shemirani

Thanks for your question and photos. Small irregularities and asymmetries in the nose can be improved with fillers and one can either use permanent or temporary fillers. Among the permanent fillers are FDA approved, Bellafill ® or fat transfer (which, of course, comes from your own body). Fillers will rarely improve nasal obstruction or make the nose smaller. For a life long result, a rhinoplasty is still generally the gold standard but many of my patients are delighted with what a filler can do, especially if one's expectations are properly managed.
