From the front and basal view, the nose (septum) is crooked and a bump appears on the right side to the right of the tip (Photo)

Question

Recently (1 and a half years now), I had a rhinoplasty and revision septoplasty. The septoplasty in 2007 resulted in a crooked columella, and beaky profile. The profile was fixed. It seems now though that I have a deviated septum again. Or a caudal deflection. Do I?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

The easiest way to determine if somebody has a deviated nasal septum is to examine them in person. Sometimes the deviated nasal septum can cause a deviation of the nasal tip. And sometimes this can be seen in the base view of the nose. Unfortunately, the photographs that you posted are blurry on my end and make it difficult for me to comment on your question. Thank you. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Your photographs are inadequate.  I need a true frontal view, both side views and a basal view to give you an accurate answer.

Best Wishes,
