How to Fix Hereditary Crooked Nose?

B
boblansyNov 4, 2009

Is there any way to fix a hereditary crooked nose? I know it's hereditary because my mom's nose is exactly the same, but she can put makeup and play with the shadows. It's like the bone on the bottom because it seems like the bone on one side is bigger and one side smaller, so like my whole nose is crooked.

First, the concha bullosa only requires treatment if it's causing or will likely cause nasal obstruction. Concerns about creating an overly dry nose are unfounded if the procedure is done correctly, which is to remove the lateral half of the concha bullosa and not to remove the entire middle...
