If I only use septal cartilage is there still a chance that it will warp and become crooked?

Rhinoplasty and warping Cartilage

I looked at a few pics of Katie Holmes and her nose appears only slightly crooked. This may be congenital (present from birth) or it may be due to rhinoplasty.

Nose Crooked

Katie's nose has ONLY a very slight deviation!. The cause can not be determined but she seems fine with it. If you want a "perfect" result you will most likely be disappointed. There is no guarantee in cosmetic surgery. Grafts curl, wrap or stay straight. Seek opinions in person FROM MIAMI Dr. Darryl j. Blinski, 305 598 0091

Asymmetry of the nose

I have not seen photos of Katie Holmes and am not sure if hse had a rhinoplasty, but most people have some curvature that is normal. Rhinoplasty surgery never makes the nose completely straight.
