Deviated Septum on one side causes nose to turn "what" direction?

May 31, 2014
Asked By:I8A4RE in United, PA

I have a deviated septum blocking right side of my nose. On the outside, my nose visibly is crooked and turns to left side of my face. Question: Do deviated septums on one side tend to pull the nose tip crooked in that same direction, or opposite, or random? Does the direction determine the difficulty of making a straight nose?
