Is There Any Other Way I Can Fix my Crooked Nose Except from Rhinoplasty?
I'm really nervous about my crooked nose, I'm only 15 so I can't have a rhinoplasty now. I've tried a lot with massage but is seems it didn't really work. I've never had a short nose, but when I was 6 years old I broke my nose, but the bone didn't break, only cartilage. I've never wanted to have a rhinoplasty and I would like to know if there is any other way to fix my nose. Thank you.

Is there a way to fix a crooked nose besides rhinoplasty?
The only way to fix a crooked nose is with surgery. Fracturing of the nasal bones (osteotomies) are necessary. Massage will not help fix the appearance of the nose.

This is referred to as a non-surgical rhinoplasty. However, filler can only be used to:

3) Fill...

Crooked nose and rhinoplasty
There is no way to fix a crooked nose without performing surgery on it. UYou may not require a formal rhinoplasty, since only your cartilages are crooked. To repair crooked and deviated cartilages of the nose may require harvesting a small piece of cartilage from the inside of the nose and placing a spreader graft in the concave upper lateral cartilage. Without pictures, examination and consultation it's impossible to determine if this should be performed...

If you have a significantly crooked nose, then the only way to really fix it would be to have surgery. I would only be able to tell for sure with an exam which you would hvae to get permission from a parent.

Is There Any Other Way I Can Fix my Crooked Nose Except from Rhinoplasty?
Unfortunately, your best and only option to straighten a crooked nose is rhinoplasty. There are different surgical maneuvers depending upon exactly what is deviated. However, surgery is the only way to reliably straighten a deviated nose once it has healed from the initial injury. I hope this information is helpful.

Fixing Crooked Nose
Surgery is the best way to fix a crooked nose. Most 15 year old young ladies have a physically mature nose that can be improved with parental consent. For men we usually recommend waiting until they are 16-18.

Fixing Crooked Nose Without Rhinoplasty
Unfortunately, there are no real methods to correct a crooked nose without rhinoplasty and/or septoplasty. Filler can sometimes be used to camouflage irregularities, but this has limited applications. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
