My nose is extremely tilted. It tilts to the left & it makes my face look distorted. What treatment would you recommend? (photo)

Question

Does my whole face need reconstructing? I don't know what if anything I can get done to fix this mess. I didn't notice it this much until the recent years. After I got veneers put in my teeth I feel like my whole face changed. Like I have an overbite or my face has shifted including my nose. Please help this is ruining my self esteem.

It is important to understand that every person's face has some degree of asymmetry. The right side of the face may be bigger or heavier than the left side. Having said that, a natural nose can have some asymmetry as well. A rhinoplasty should be able to make a great improvement in straightening your nose which will bring more balance to your face as a whole.

The nose can be straightened and improved with a closed rhinoplasty and no visible scars.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Your facial symmetry has been influenced by the deviated nose. A rhinoplasty can straighten the nose and restore facial symmetry. You will not need anything else. RegardsDr. J

The nose is very asymmetrical due to the deviation to the patient's left side and is crooked. This may be congenital or traumatic related. To repair a crooked nose, osteotomies of the nasal bones are required to re-set them straight. A cartilaginous spreader graft is also placed underneath the patient's right side upper lateral cartilage to make the mid vault area symmetrical as well. Facial reconstruction is not required, just consider a rhinoplasty procedure.   Digital computer imaging would be helpful to see your new nose upon your facial features.

See an experienced plastic surgeon to evaluate your nose. A well done rhinoplasty is probably all you need.
