After going through a Septoplasty, I did not get the desired outcome. Why? (photo)

Septoplasty is designed to address the septum of septum, not
the nose. It is only internal work to improve the function of your nose. From
what you have said, it sounds like you would benefit from a septorhinoplsaty as
the rhinoplasty would help to straighten your tilted nose.

Hi minalk. A standard septoplasty straightens the nasal septum, which is the cartilage and bony partition between your two nasal passages. This is performed through an incision in the lining of your nose. Typically, there is no change in the outside appearance of the nose, unless too much septum is removed and the nose loses structure. A septorhinoplasty involves straightening the nasal septum both inside your nose and at the top of your septum (dorsal septum). This dorsal septum is the part that makes up the bridge of your nose. From your photos, your dorsal septum (which is the middle part of your nose) and nasal bones are slightly crooked. Only a septorhinoplasty will straighten this area.  Any other changes to the outside appearance of your nose can be performed at the same time. Good luck. Best, Dr H.
