Is Nose Straightening/Tip Reduction possible for AERD/Samter's Triad? (Photos)
Jubilant183569Oct 27, 2025
I'm a 23yo female, 5'3", 120lbs. I have AERD (nasal polyps, chronic sinus issues, asthma, aspirin allergy), for which I had a septoplasty (with turbinate reduction and polyp removal) in July 2020. Since this initial surgery, my nose has grown very crooked and my breathing is severely disturbed. I take Dupixent, which helps with the polyps, but I am hoping to get surgery to straighten out my nose and make it less bulbous. To the extent possible, I also want to get rid of my dorsal hump and bring my nose in. I realize this is a big ask so I want to make sure my expectations are realistic, would love any thoughts.
