Why is my nose bent downwards? (photo)

The nose appears as such because of the nasal hump pushing the nasal tip downwards. Once the nasal hump is removed, the tip moves upwards and the nose does not appear to be bent downwards. RegardsDr. J

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.In my practice for cases like yours I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Rhinoplasty for the nose that is bent down with a hump.in addition to refining the tip and removing the hump you will need a radix  graft as well as mid nose cartilage grafts to balance your nose out. Your tip will need to be supported because now it is actually below your hump. It should be brought forward to increase projection but not shortened. 

Your tip rotation (upturn of your tip) is actually fine. What makes your nose appear to point downward is the hump or bump on the bridge that is most prominent just above the tip. This can be removed with rhinoplasty surgery. If you're happy with the front view of your nose, this does not necessarily need to be changed during surgery. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Your nose isn't bent downward. You have a dorsal hump that protrudes upward. It is a common finding and repair is routine.

Your nose has a large dorsal hump that is higher than the tip, in your case your nasal tip needs more support, so the nose looks like it bends from the sides. To change the shape of the nose and make it straight, the dorsal hump needs to be removed, the tip needs to have some type of support and changes to make it higher than your nasal dorsum. Then the nose will look more straight. This can be done with a rhinoplasty. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Facial Plastic Surgeon to have a complete evaluation of your case, to discuss your concerns and goals. This can give you more information.

Thank you for sharing. The appearance is often a dorsal hump but also a tip support issue. These are treated via different techniques. A nose needs to be evaluated in a formal consultation to determine the best plan for re-shaping and possible cartilage support. Best wishes

There are a variety of factors that can lead to a nose being bent.  It is hard to know if the impacts you describe have resulted in the current appearance of your nose.  Your question is one that is better answered in person.  I would recommend visiting with a plastic surgeon to address your concerns.

Thanks for your question. From this view, I think that your tip rotation is just fine and I wouldn't change it. You do have a rather large dorsal hump which makes it appear that you have a droopy nose. With large humps like yours, you would likely need a reconstructive procedure for the middle part of your nose following the hump removal. Otherwise you are prone to collapse in this region with nasal obstruction. Just something to keep in mind when you're considering surgical options. Good luck!

 A closed rhinoplasty approach can address reduction of the dorsal hump, and lifting the droopy tip. Osteotomies of the nasal bones are then required to close the open roof deformity created from a hump removal and to straighten a crooked nose. Also important to make sure there's not a deviated septum on the inside after nasal trauma. For many examples  and more information, please see linked and video below
