Nose is lopsided. Is septorhinoplasty worth it to fix one side of the nose? (Photos)

You are an excellent candidate for a rhinoplasty and septoplasty for a deviated septum. The procedure would correct both sides of the nose to create symmetry.

Best Wishes,

Based on your photos, and on your narrative, I would recommend leaving septorhinoplasty surgery as a last resort, especially since you don't have any trouble breathing through your nose. Based on what I see, you may have a small indentation along the left side wall of your nose which is causing a lopsided appearance. That could also be the reason why you prefer your right profile view better than your left. Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 nasal injections maybe considered for achieving a permanently straighter nasal appearance without the inconvenience, expense, and downtime associated with rhinoplasty surgery. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, nasal tip deprojection, tip elevation, among other maneuvers. All of these maneuvers can be used to straighten your nasal tip. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
