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
