Crooked nose rhinoplasty

There are facial and nasal asymmetries present. Osteotomies will need to be performed to straighten the nasal bones, and a single or double spreader graft be required on the patient's right side to improve the concavity in the right upper lateral cartilage. Any other dorsal irregularities could be shaved down. This can all be done through a closed rhinoplasty as an outpatient procedure. For a example is similar to your own please see our rhinoplasty photo gallery

These issues you have can be corrected with rhinoplasty. The bones can be manipulated and straightened. Other irregularities can be reduced or camouflaged. Find the plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties each year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Emily, from the photos provided, I think you are a good candidate to have the nose straightened. Your two oblique angle views are quite different and mostly related to how the nose deviates off of the midline. This should improve following surgery. You will always have some degree of asymmetry from left to right. However, rhinoplasty surgery can often times be successful in making the nose much more symmetrical.

Rhinoplasty from the Left and Right

The two sides of your face and your nose are different.Rhinoplasty will change your nose but it will not make the two sides the same.Both your face and nose will still be different after a rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty can straighten your nose.

Crooked nose rhinoplasty

Dear Emily 9339, Rhinoplasty surgery can be used to straighten the nose and make it look more symmetric Achieveing perfect symmetry is very difficult, and it can be improved where the symmetry is very close, within normal, natural looking limits Everyone is different when comparing both sides of their faces and this is all part of our job as rhinoplasty surgeons to get as close to symmetry as possible Best regards, Nima Shemirani
