would it be affective and what type of experience should a surgeon have to successfully perform the surgery. My nose curves out on the left and protudes on the right with uneven nostrils the left both wider and longer than the right. I feel like it plays a major hand with my chronic congestion and sinus infections. I really just want to not feel like I'm catching a cold all the time and an evened out nose so it looks pretty symmetrical.
Answer: Rhinoplasty, septoplasty and possible endoscopic sinus surgery The rhinoplasty procedure can address removal of the dorsal hump, and osteotomies to straighten the nasal bones. A spreader graft composed of the patient's own cartilage will be required on the concave side. Any minor tip and nostril adjustments can be performed at the same time. The rhinoplasty procedure is considered cosmetic and must be paid for by the patient A septoplasty procedure involves removal of obstructing bone and cartilage in the back of the nose which is decreasing airflow dynamics through the nose. This must be documented for medical necessity before it is submitted to your medical insurance. Co-pays and to deductibles will still apply. Endoscopic sinus surgery is performed for medical necessity as well, once a CAT scan of the paranasal sinuses has been performed to document chronic nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis. the procedure involved removal of polyps and opening the sinus cavities small instruments and telescopes. All 3 procedures can be performed simultaneously and are done so routinely in our practice. For more information on all he above procedures, please see the link below

Answer: What kind of surgery do I need for curved nose, uneven nostrils and a possible deviated septum? The tip and dorsum can be refined and the nose can be straightened through a closed rhinoplasty approach without a visible scar to produce a natural result. The functional aspects of the nose should be addressed after an exam is performed. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Curved nose, uneven nostrils and a possible deviated septum? The nasal areas that you described and would like improved can be addressed with a nasal surgery (rhinoplasty) and a possible septoplasty.Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on limited two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or facial plastic surgeon (ENT) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California

Answer: Nose surgery: what to do? It appears that your nose needs more structure. That means that the skin size is right, maybe slightly thick at the bottom part, but if there is not enough internal structure then the nose will have the features you do not like. This is similar to a dress that may be two sizes too big, just doesn't fit right. An experienced board-certified plastic surgeon can consult with you to give you an individualized plan. Good luck
