Crooked nose due to crooked upper lip? (Photo)

Neat572357Oct 24, 2023
I had a septoplasty. The surgeon tried to tell me my nose was crooked after surgery because he needed to make it align to my crooked upper lip (both deviated to my left). Is it true that I’ll have a crooked nose forever and a second surgery won’t fix this? No one’s face is symmetrical so why can’t I have a straight nose when other ppl out there have asymmetries and their nose is straight (regardless of position of their upper lip). Id like to know if I can have a straight nose despite my lip

It is normal to have a pneumatized sphenoid sinus. That means the sinus is filled with air, not mucus or pus. The pituitary gland lives just above the sphenoid sinus and I believe that is what you have circled. I am not a neurologist and I am not a radiologist, however, I would defer...

Hi! This is Arzu from Dr Caner Kacmaz Clinic. The best and cheapest solution is nose fillers. You can get a good result but not permanent. You will need to renew it by the time pases. Kind regards

Hi from Istanbul! To address the saddle nose deformity, reconstructing the nasal septum using septal or rib cartilage grafting can provide both structural support and aesthetic improvement. Alternatively, if you're considering a non-surgical approach, fillers could be an option, albeit...

A septal perforation should not cause breathing problems. An intranasal exam would be needed to determine the cause of your breathing problems
