Paul L. Leong, MD, FACS · Answer

A non-surgical Rhinoplasty could help
to reduce the appearance of a crooked nose. During treatment, a filler such as Restylane would be injected into the
side of your nose to balance it out and create more symmetry. This treatment lasts approximately 8
months. For a more permanent solution,
you may want to consider Rhinoplasty surgery. I suggest meeting with a few Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeons or
Plastic Surgeons to get a complete evaluation and find out if Rhinoplasty
surgery is a good option for you. Best
of luck!

Dear jackie, thank
you for your question. Injectable fillers can be used to enhance facial volume,
correct lines and depressions, and rejuvenate the face without surgery. Some
common  fillers include restylane, juvederm, perlane, voluma, radiesse,
and sculptra.  Consult with a an experienced facial plastic surgeon
injector to review your options. Good Luck!

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A rhinoplasty is required to  repair  a crooked nose. Cartilage and bone must be reshaped through surgery, not by injections. Medial and lateral osteotomies are required to reset the nasal bones straight. Occasionally, spreader grafts composed of the patient's own cartilage are used in the mid vault area when there is a concave upper lateral cartilage present contributing to the crookedness. A septoplasty is performed for medical necessity to improve air flow through the nose and does not change the shape of the nose.

Fillers may be able to be used in some instances to camouflage a bit, but a rhinoplasty would be a permanent solution.

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) · Answer

Fillers will not fix a crooked nose but can occasionally be used to camouflage asymmetries. Usually a rhinoplasty is the way to permanently correct a crooked nose which also frequently causes breathing obstruction. Pictures would help us respond to your inquiry.
