Will I need cartilage grafts to straighten my crooked nose? (Photos)

You most likely will not need a cartilage graft but you may need the septum cartilage operated on to reposition.

Best Wishes,

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, the best approach would likely be osteotomies and placement of spreader grafts to help straighten your nose. 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.
