My nose tip is crooked; can it be fixed? One side if my cartilage has fallen down and I think it's due to my improper sleeping position. Can it be repositioned to the original position?

Answer: A crooked nose tip CAN be fixed 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.
