Can Crooked Nose Tip Be Fixed?

The first step in fixing a crooked nose is to identify which portions of the nose (nasal bones, septum, tip cartilages) are causing the nose to appear deviated. There are very specific rhinoplasty techniques which can be used to address each of these areas. Be sure to consult with a surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty. An external deviation is often associated with narrowing of the airway on one or both sides, so straightening the nose may improve your ability to breathe as well. In cases such as this, a portion of the cost of your surgery may be also covered by your insurance. Best of luck.

Of course, a crooked nose can be fixed. Often a crooked nose is due to trauma or is a congential deformity. The optimal way to correct a deviated nose is through an open approach rhinoplasty after a careful analysis of the nose. Often the patients own cartilage can be used to correct or reconstruct the nose and bring it back to a normal or symmetric position. The nose should be balanced with the patients overall facial structure, size and shape.

Rhinoplasty can straighten or improve a deviated nose. It is a difficult undertaking, but improvements can be made. Sometimes the result is not a perfectly straight nose, but an improved one. I doubt that the cartilages in your nose collapsed because of the way you're sleeping

First, don't blame yourself. It is highly unlikely you caused any crookedness to your nose with your sleeping position, unless you suffered major trauma to your nose.

A crooked tip may be due to asymmetries in the position of the tip cartilages and this can be corrected with permanent suturing techniques. Sometimes the cartilages may need to be cut and resewn together to fully solve the problem.

In any case, you should be able to get a natural and long-lasting result. Visit a facial plastic surgeon for a through evaluation.

  The answer is yes and maybe. Crooked noses are one of the most difficult procedures to completely correct. There are many factors including a deviated septum which may cause your nose to be crooked. Because of this it is imperative that you see a physician with ear nose and throat training or a physician with experience in doing internal nasal surgery. You should consult several doctors and get their opinions. In your consultation,ask to see patient with a similar problem you have in order to choose the right physician for you. You may also need cartilage grafts in order to correct your problem.

Good Luck
