I have always been bothered by my face being asymmetrical. I remember when I was 13 staring into mirrors and wondering why my face wasn't like everyone else's. As I am about to hit 30, the problem has seemed to get worse and bother me more. I know am a beautiful woman despite this. I have worked on my other features, like my hair, figure, and eyes to try to distract from how my face is asymmetrical. I haven't seen before and after pics where this sort of problem is corrected. How about a slightly crooked mouth? I Please help.
Answer: Rhinoplasty candidate to straighten the crooked and asymmetric nose There are many reasons the nose can become crooked from either nasal trauma or simply grows that way with facial asymmetry. To repair a crooked nose, medial and lateral osteotomies of the nasal bones are required along with a spreader graft placed underneath the concave upper lateral cartilage on one side. Expect approximately 2 weeks of bruising and swelling after the procedure.

Answer: Is it possible to correct a nose which curves to one side? I want to be more symmetrical. Most individuals have some degree of asymmetry from side to side. If the deviation of your nose concerns you enough to do something to cosmetically improve it, a rhinoplasty is possible. Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on limited two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon certified by the American Board of American Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, M.D., FACS La Jolla, California
