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.
Answer: Crooked Nose Correction Requires Expertise A crooked nose is a common indication for a rhinoplasty. In reviewing your pictures, you have crooked nasal bones and cartilage. Both bone and cartilage are manipulated during a rhinoplasty to straighten the nose. Please consult with several facial plastic surgeons before settling on the best one to help you. I hope this helps.

Answer: Fixing a crooked nose you got from Mom. Your photograph shows the very common finding in rhinoplasty patients. We often think of having one face and one knows but that is not the case. We actually have two facial halves and to nasal pads. Often our eyes are at two different levels, our eyebrows at two different orientations. Our jaws at two different heights. It appears more obvious in the nose because it is one single unit in the middle of our face. Nevertheless, the right nostril or right nasal bone can become larger than the left or vice versa.These findings are also seen in traumatized noses. Whatever their source, rhinoplasty can correct these findings. However, the more facial asymmetry there is, the more difficult it may be to create a perfectly symmetric nose.

Answer: Straightening a Crooked Nose Many patients seek my advice when looking to straighten a crooked nose. Often times, a crooked nose may result from genes that have been inherited, like you mentioned. A crooked nose is also a feature that people of the same ethnicity might share. In either case, straightening a crooked nose is a fairly common and standard procedure. A good rhinoplasty surgeon is able to straighten a crooked nose in a way that doesn’t look too fake and that leaves the patient satisfied with the facial harmony of their new nose. It is important to choose a surgeon that you trust and whom you know has had extensive experience in the field. Ask to see real-life examples of past patients, as this is a good indication of what your new nose is likely to resemble.
