Rhinoplasty: Q&A
Ask a QuestionFixing Crooked Nose Without Rhinoplasty?
I had septoplasty 2 years ago to help my breathing, which helped. But afterwards i noticed the crookedness was still visiable on the outside. I think i was born with the crookedness, but it seems to almost be getting worse with age. Can a doctor just break my nose straight without rhinoplasty.

Straightening a crooked nose
It is possible to have the nose straightened without performing a rhinoplasty.

Crooked nose
Even when a septoplasty and rhinoplasty is done, the curvature can still remain and sometimes even be worse. The cartilage, unfortunately, has a "mind of its own" and may spring back. Grafts could be used to diminish these problems. Nonsurgically different fillers like radiece could be used to "mask" the crookedness.

Crooked Nose Repair without Rhinoplasty Surgery
Facial asymmetry is common. Usually one is born with asymmetry, and continues to develop over time. Trauma or nasal injuries will obviously make asymmetry worse and result in a crooked nose. A deviated nose may be due to bone, cartilage, or soft tissue asymmetries.
Rhinoplasty is any surgery which changes the shape of your nose. Septoplasty generally does not change the external shape of the nose, since only the internal bone & cartilage is modified. In order to improve a crooked...

The crooked appearance of your nose may be improved by a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty.
If your crooked appearance is due to an indentation of your bridge, this may be improved by filling the indentation. If your nose is severely crooked, then a formal Rhinoplasty Surgery may be necessary.
My personal preference for Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty procedures is Silikon-1000 for permanent results. Feel free to email your photo along with your concern, and I'll be glad to share my thoughts with you.

This is usually the cartilage which is twisted and needs to be straightened with or without breaking the bones. See an experienced rhinoplasty expert.

Fixing crooked nose without rhinoplasty
There are only two ways to fix a crooked nose. The first is with a form of rhinoplasty. This involves taking the cartilage and bones loose, trimming and rearranging them, and, perhaps, adding a cartilage graft. This is the only way to permanently correct the problem, since all the structures are interconnected. The other way of dealing with the problem is to disguise it with a filler like Radiesse®. This can be done in the office and lasts about 1 ½ years.

There is no way that I know of that would make your nose just the way you want it without surgery. I know the idea of surgery can be daunting but you should talk to a surgeon to see what your options are. There are many types of Rhinoplasty and you can find the perfect one for you.

Crooked noses
Everyone has some asymmetry. Therefore everyone's nose is crooked....some worse than others.. So to this end even with a rhinoplasty to correct deviation, post-operatively there still will be deviation.
