When I was young my nose was straight but I used to fight a lot with my siblings and occasionally had nose bleeds I started to realise my nose was bent to one side but it isn't that obvious from the front but from the sides and from underneath it is visible. My nose runs all the time,I can't breathe that well through my nose, when I smile my nose leans to the side, my side profile is aesthetically unpleasant &my voice is nasal.
Answer: Nose Surgery Hello. Please understand that the definitive answer to your question rests with an in-person consultation. Based on your description, you may be suffering from a deviated septum (wall between the two nostrils). This requires an examination to diagnose. A septoplasty may be combined with a rhinoplasty (nose reshaping surgery) to affect the appearance of the nose.If you like, please follow the link below. The article on Septoplasty contains useful diagrams and may assist in your understanding of the process. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes. Dr. Shah

Answer: Rhinoplasty for dorsal hump removal and straightening the nose A closed rhinoplasty approach can address straightening the crooked nose, and removing the dorsal hump. Since the dorsal hump is composed of both bone and cartilage, it must be surgically shaved down in order to remove it and to give an aesthetically pleasing profile. Osteotomies of the nasal bones are required to straighten the crooked nose. There are many issues inside the nose that can cause nasal obstruction such as a deviated septum, turbinate hypertrophy, valve collapse, allergies and chronic sinusitis. Each one of these issues are treated differently with either medications or surgery. Examination of the internal portion of the nose will determine what the cause of the obstruction is. Functional nasal surgery to improve air flow can also be performed at the same time as a cosmetic rhinoplasty.
