Rhinoplasty: Q&A
Ask a QuestionWhat Kind of Results Can I Expect for a Rhinoplasty/septoplasty?
I'm a 19 year old male and I've been looking into have a rhinoseptoplasty. My septum is very crooked (You can feel it when you run your finger down the septum) The septum probably is why my nose and nostrils are way too uneven and it really throws off my whole face. Also it is a little too big and long for my liking. I've been wondering what my options are for fixing how crooked nose my nostrils are and what kind of price range I can expect? What type of realistic results can I expect?

Expectations following septorhinoplasty
Based on your photo and your own assessment, it very likely that the majority of your problems are arising from the septum. The caudal septum is clearly turned off to the right which is not only obstructing the airway but is most likely making your nose look crooked. We don't have full views, but likely a septorhinoplasty by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon would take care of this. Patient 55 on my website, drkaram.com, has an example of this. The hump and...

Rhinoplasty/septoplasty results
The rhinoplasty operation can be done to reduce the projection of the tip, remove any hump, narrow the sidewalls, and refine any tip cartilages that may be overly excessive.

Septorhinoplasty
A rhinoplasty can most definitely address a deviated septum. Ohter aspects of the nose can be addressed. The final result appears one year after the procedure. Price varies from surgeon to surgeon and region to region. The average surgeon's fee in my area is around $4,000.00

Expectations from Septorhinoplasty
The nasal deviation is obvious in the one picture submitted. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon because a deviated nose is one of the most challenging problems we face in nasal surgery. Consult with several surgeons to see before and after results and establish reasonable expectations. The cost will depend on what is done, but expect the charges to be in the $7000-10,000 range.

Your deviated nasal septum, and long nose may be improved with Rhinoplasty Surgery.
Your presumption that your septum is deviated is likely correct. This is likely contributing to your asymmetrical nostrils that are seen on the base view of your nose that you posted. This can be corrected, and you can have nasal shortening as well.
You should visit several board-certified rhinoplasty specialists for formal consultations. Computer imaging is helpful for you to see what to expect after your rhinoplasty surgery.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Results from rhinoplasty
Withotu a formal exam it is difficult to say. A 'worm's eye view" does not give enough information. realistically it would be straighter but may not be perfectly straight after surgery.

Results from septorhinoplasty.
The best way to find out what you can expect is to look at the actual work the surgeon has done. Live patients are best who have had surgery with the surgeon. Before after photos are next best. Imaging is a marketing tool and does not tell you what the surgeon can do!
