I have a deviated septum/crooked nose with 90% blockage in my left nostril. I have an enlarged turbinate as well. I know I need Septoplasty and would need reshaping of the tip and profile as I have a hump and a droopy bulbous tip. Please advise me on this.
Answer: It is best to fix the septum at the same time as Rhinoplasty... With a crooked nose, the best result can be obtained by performing both the septoplasty and the rhinoplasty together because the deviated septum is probably contributing significantly to the crooked appearance. During rhinoplasty, the entire nose can be opened up, allowing great exposure to correct both the septum and any cosmetic issues that are causing the nasal deviation. Then, the tip can be thinned and placed at a nice, masculine position. Be sure to see surgeons specializing in correcting both the internal and external aspect of the nose.

Answer: 90% blockage in left nostril due to deviated septum and crooked nose...please advise. First, go Sox! Based on your description and the photo you've attached it sounds like a septorhinoplasty and turbinate reduction would be required to improve all of your airway issues. If you had cosmetic changes as well they could be made during the same procedure. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Crooked Nose Deviated noses are very challenging and require special maneuvers to correct the deviated internal and the external structures of the nose. You may consult someone who has enough expertise dealing with the deviated structures as well as the nasal valves which often may not function properly on a patient with the deviate nose.

Answer: Deviated nose I agree that your nose is deviated. It's impossible to tell how blocked it is on the inside without an exam. Your nose can be straightened without changing the shape or tip. So that is something you could do in addition. Sounds like it's time to get some consults. Good luck.
