I am wondering if a rhinoplasty would benefit me. I am insecure about the side profile of my nose, along with its crookedness. I have asymmetrical nostrils, and my nose has a slight hump in it. I am happy with my nose from the front, as well as it’s overall size. I do not have any noticeable breathing issues. I am 21 years old, and i weigh 125 lbs. I would greatly appreciate any feedback/advice!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Good Morning! Thanks for your questions. A septoplasty is often combined with a rhinoplasty in order to get grafting material, improve any breathing trouble, and help straighten a crooked nose. In your case, both may be needed. A septoplasty alone shouldn't change the shape of your nose. Various cosmetic changes can be integrated while leaving certain parts of the nose alone that you like. Nostril asymmetry can be difficult to fix but not impossible. Sometimes, a base reduction is all that is needed. If you're in the Denver area, we encourage you to come in for a consultation to learn more. Hope this helps!

Answer: Rhinoplasty I believe that you would benefit from an open rhinoplasty to help with the goals you have described. I would highly recommend seeing a board-eligible of board-certified plastic surgeon with rhinoplasty experience, particularly one with 3D imaging that is capable of simulating your surgery so you can be on the same page regarding the outcome. Best of luck.
