Is there a way to straighten my nose without surgery? (Photos)

Hello,Thanks for your question. You can visually improve the deviation in your nose using non-surgical rhinoplasty. This involves the injection of filler material to offset minor asymmetries and irregularities in the nose, creating the appearance of a straighter nose. If you have an actually septal deviation, a septoplasty procedure could be performed to anatomically correct the malposition of your nose, and allow you to breathe better as well. I would recommend that you consult with a rhinoplasty specialist to discuss this further. I would be happy to speak with you at my office in Cherry Creek if you so desired.Take care,Dr. Shah

Based on your photos, you appear to have thin nasal skin, along with asymmetrical nostrils, and perhaps an indentation along the right side wall of your nose. If you're nostril asymmetry is bothering you, I suspect it's from the bottom of your septum being deviated to the left side. Leaving cemetery at the base of your nose, in my opinion, would be best achieved with rhinoplasty surgery. If you are looking to simply fill in the indentation along the sidewall of your nose for a straighter bridge appearance, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe considered for a permanent non-surgical nose job treatment. I hope this helps, and thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Dear Princesslife,Thank you for your question and pictures. Based on your pictures, you may benefit from non-surgical rhinoplasty using fillers to help improve any asymmetries in the nose. This will not correct any breathing problems associated with a deviated septum. If you do choose to have rhinoplasty done, you would need a septorhinoplasty to address both the breathing problems and any cosmetic concerns you have. Best regards,Nima Shemirani

Thanks for your question and photos. Small irregularities and asymmetries in the nose can be improved with fillers and one can either use permanent or temporary fillers. Among the permanent fillers are FDA approved, Bellafill ® or fat transfer (which, of course, comes from your own body). Fillers will rarely improve nasal obstruction or make the nose smaller. For a life long result, a rhinoplasty is still generally the gold standard but many of my patients are delighted with what a filler can do, especially if one's expectations are properly managed.

Your concerns are quite common and are relatively ease to correct with the use of fillers. Performed by an experienced surgeon the results are beautiful and if a permanent filler is used there is no need to keep repeating the procedure. Just understand that this is a cosmetic procedure only and will not correct any breathing difficulties if you do have them. Best luck.

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers (voluma, restylane, juvederm) can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose. Surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
