My nose used to be perfectly staight and over the years it is getting progressively more crooked. My ENT says that I have a deviated septum and that I probably had it, but if you compare pictures from 10 years ago to now, there is a big difference. Any ideas?
Answer: Correcting the crooked nose The crooked nose can result from a deviated septum and may get progressively worse as one ages. In addition, incidental trauma or sports related trauma or just bumping your nose hard enough can cause further progression of the crooked nose over time. Furthermore, as we age the tissues weaken and an inherently bent septum can result in further deviation of the nose over time much like a bridge which begins to weaken and collapse due to use and stress. The good news is that surgery can be done to straighten the bend and strengthen the underlying structure so that further bending over time can be avoided. My only advice there is to see a facial plastic surgeon who is both experienced in internal and external nasal surgery since correcting a crooked nose is a more difficult nose surgery or rhinoplasty than performing a nose surgery on someone to improve the appearance in a person with a straight nose. I hope this information helps.

Answer: The crooked appearance of your nose could be improved with a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty. The photo you posted shows a slight concavity on the left side of your nose. If you're otherwise happy with your nose, and just want it straighter, consider consulting a specialist experienced using Injectable Fillers in the nose. This can be quite gratifying, and there is no downtime.

Answer: I have seen this many times over 30 years of doing noses. When we are young we have a great deal of fat in our face and nose. This often hides an underlying deviation which only shows up as we age. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon and you should have airway improvement as well as a straighter nose.
