I think I suffered some trauma to the area when I was younger and I believe it's continually grown more uneven. When I take a picture, it sometimes looks as if the nose is at the wrong angle. What should I do?

Answer: Crocked nose Hi and thank you for your question. From your photos it does look like your nose is uneven. This is often a result of trauma but it can occur with out any accidents as well. It looks like the bent part of the nose is the lower half? If this is the case it is usually caused by a bend in the septal cartilage which is the structure in the middle of your nose dividing your nostrils and going all the way to the back of your nose. I usually find that it has been dislocated from its base where it meets the bone just above your top front two teeth. When this is the case it certainly continues to be crocked but doesn't tend to get worse with growth unless you injure it again.I would suggest you ask a local trusted Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon to look at it. It is generally amenable to correction with a rhinoplasty.I hope that helpsAll the bestDr Sam CunneenPlastic and reconstructive surgeonPerth, Western Australia

Answer: Asymmetrical Nose It is not unusual to have an asymmetrical nose that becomes more obvious as one matures. Consult with an experienced rhinoplasty specialist who can improve nasal appearance and balance.
