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: Septorhinoplasty: things you should know Thank you for your question and photos. A physical examination is required to determine if you would benefit from septoplasty, in which case this procedure can be combined with rhinoplasty to address structural and cosmetic changes at the same time. Straightening a crooked nose may involve osteotomies, grafts, struts, or a septorhinoplasty procedure to correct a deviated septum. Rhinoplasty may also include an alar base reduction to improve nostril symmetry, and nasal rasping to reduce the nasal hump for a feminine, natural-looking result.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi @Charming505884! You would be an excellent candidate for a rhinoplasty. I recommend seeing an expert rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are several options for you that can be determined after examination. In my practice, I utilize piezosurgery. Piezosurgery is a more gentle technique that allows for greater precision. Less bruising and swelling is common with Piezosurgery. In a typical rhinoplasty, a hammer and chisel technique is performed leading to more inadvertent fractures. Best of Luck, Dr. Nima!

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.
