I am wondering if there is any way to just straighten the nose tip without having to break the nose or go through a complicated procedure. I don’t have a deviated septum but some cartilage deficiency on one side following an impact which broke the base of the nasal bone right above my lip.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty and agree with your assessment. In your case, you definitely need a rhinoplasty to fix the crooked nose. Rhinoplasty is not an enormous operation. Most times, a rhinoplasty takes only an hour and a half to perform in the recovery is minimal. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.
