Yes, you have a significant nasal deviation. A rhinoplasty will not only make your nose straight, it will probably improve the way your breathe significantly. Good luck.

A closed rhinoplasty approach can address straightening the nose. To straighten a crooked nose requires osteotomies placed in the nasal bones and reducing and straightening them. Occasionally, a  cartilaginous spreader graft is also required to be placed underneath a concave upper lateral cartilage in the mid vault area creating asymmetry as well.

Rhinoplasty to straighten the congenitally deviated nose  This can be done by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. The nose will not be absolutely straight because the center of your four head in the center of your upper jaw do not lineup directly over each other. However your breathing and appearance will be much better if done by an experienced rhinopasty surgeon.

Hello Ralph.  Straightening a crooked nose is a feasible rhinoplasty maneuver.  This may involve osteotomies - controlled breaks in the nasal bones, allowing the surgeon to push the nose back to the midline.Hope this is helpful.  Best wishes.

A rhinoplasty can be done to straighten your nose and improve breathing which must be compromised with this severe deviation. You will still have some facial asymmetry because the rest of your facial structures are not perfectly aligned. Despite this, you will have significant improvement and the asymmetry will not be as noticeable.
