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?

Since rhinoplasty is the more delicate of the two surgeries, it should be performed first. If the facelift is performed first, it could lead to unnecessary nasal swelling that could be distracting for the rhinoplasty surgeon. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Turbinates are organs on the inside of your nose that filter and humidifier the air. They may be out fracture to increase somebody's airway. This should not lead to any change in the appearance of somebody's nose. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
