Is my nose that crooked? Every time I take pictures of my self I have to adjust the camera! (Photos)

Question

I need help with my nose but don't have money and I get made fun of some times! I broke my nose when I was little and never got to get it fixed! And I hate taking pics and its like I have 2 different sides! I would like to get it fixed but I have no money!

Hello jmcopley,Thanks for your question.It seems that your biggest asymmetry is in the position of your nostrils and the leaning of your tip to the right side of the picture.There are ways to repair this in an office rhinoplasty procedure using oral sedation and local anesthesia to help contain costs.If you have decent credit, there are a number of financing options to help pay for surgery in a reasonable manner on a monthly basis.While the nose won't be perfect, it can be improved tremendously.If you have any more questions, I would be happy to see you at my practice in Denver.Take care,Dr. Shah

Your nose can be made more feminine and attractive by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. You may be able to go to a large city near your residence and have your nose done at a teaching hospital for less money

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A rhinoplasty procedure can accomplish straightening the crooked nose. Trauma to the nose can cause twisted nasal bones, concave upper lateral cartilages in the midportion of the nose, and an asymmetrical tip. A full rhinoplasty is usually required under general anesthesia to straighten the crooked nose. Straightening the crooked nose is usually accomplished with combination of osteotomies placed in the nasal bones, a spreader graft placed underneath the concave upper lateral cartilage, and a tip rhinoplasty. It is possible to have a rhinoplasty procedure done at a discounted fee in a teaching hospital at your  local university Medical Center. For more information and many examples, please see the link and the video below

Dear jmcopley, Yes your nose is crooked probably secondary to your earlier nasal fracture. You also have asymmetry of the cartilages in the tip. These can be corrected with rhinoplasty surgery providing you a more refined nose that better balances your facial aesthetics. There are certain companies that are available to provide credit for surgery that you may want to look into. Most surgeons like myself provide complimentary consultations so you can at least take that step and become further informed regarding rhinoplasty surgery. I have enclosed a link below and video above to provide you some examples of this procedure. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
