Rhinoplasty: Q&A
Ask a QuestionRhinoplasty for a Crooked Nose and Bulbous Tip?
I have a crooked nose-- even more pronounced when i smile. the tip is also very round and kind of "collapses" when i pinch the sides of it. Is this something that can be fixed, and if so, how much would the total cost be? I've attached pictures of how my nose is now, and what I would like it to look more like. Thank you!

Rhinoplasty for crooked nose
Rhinoplasty is a great surgical procedure to minimize a bump in the nose, bulbous tip and/or to straighten a crooked nose. The nose is unique in that the tissues do have some memory. Experience matters. Find a board certified plastic surgeon in your area that performs rhinoplasty surgery routinely and look at before and after pictures. Good luck!

Correction of crooked nose, deviated septum, rhinoplasty,septoplasty
By correcting your septal deviation, it will help your breathing but it may not necesarily fix your crooked nose. This can be improved with a rhinoplasty, either open or closed. You may need some grafts placed. I am sure it can be improved but it will probably not be as straight as you want. Watch my videos!

Rhinoplasty: Fixing the crooked nose and bulbous tip
Your complaints about your nose are very common. Your deviation sounds like it is related to a deviated septum and your tip can be refined as well. It would necessitate an open septo-rhinoplasty and likely require structural cartilage grafting to support your tip. This would likely be considered a cosmetic rhinoplasty and the price will vary depending on where you live. It is an outpatient operation with about a weeks recovery. I would seek an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for your nose....

Can my crooked nose be straigtened by rhinoplasty?
You did not mention if you had any injury to your nose. This is a different situation where I take into consideration the ability of the procedure tobe covered partially through insurance. If this is the case many isurances mandate a CT scan for evaluation. If there is a markedly deviated septum then at least a portion can be covered by insurance. If not then the procedure will need to be covered by the patient. Extremly crooked noses are difficult but start...

Rhinoplasty for a crooked nose
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is quite common for a crooked nose. You may have had a nasal fracture leading to the crooked nature of your nose. It is also important to assess if you have a deviated septum. Straightening a crooked nose depends on the how much time has elapsed since the nose was broken. Typically, rhinoplasty to straighten a crooked nose will require osteotomies (controlled fractures) of the nose to put it back into place.

Correction of the Crooked Nose and Bulbous Tip with Rhinoplasty.
I have reviewed your pics and comments. The crooked nose is many times caused by abnormalities of the nasal septum. Nasal septoplasty will help to realign and straighten the septum. Nasal collapse is usually a function of weakness in the cartilage framework of the nose. Correction can be achieved by the addition of cartilage grafts which will help to strengthen your existing framework. Spreader grafts can correct internal valve collapse, alar batten...

Can rhinoplasty fix a crooked nose and bulbous tip?
Rhinoplasty surgery can certainly improve the features of your nose that concern you. It sounds as though your nasal structural support is less than ideal as well. There are ways to improve the functional aspect of your nose at the same time. There is no reason that your nasal breathing should suffer after surgery.
A complete examination of your nose and how it relates with the rest of your face would allow for a more detailed assessment of what is possible with surgery.
