How to correct a deviated curved caudel septal tip? (Photo)

This area can be fixed but usually requires an open rhinoplasty approach.  I would see a facial plastic surgeon or someone who specializes in this for an evaluation.

You have caudal septal deviation which may be associated with nasal structural deviation too. Correction of this deformity is done on regular basis since it is very common. The caudal septal cartilage can be straightened by a number of techniques or can be reveresed and replaced.

After 30 years performing septorhinoplasty, caudal septal repair is a relatively common problem I have treated in many patients. The complication rate is low in most cases. See an experienced surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Good luck.Richard Chaffoo,MD,FACS,FICSTriple Board Certified Plastic Surgron

 A curved caudal septum can be a difficult issue to deal with. A septoplasty is  only performed for nasal obstruction which does not appear to be the case since the patient is not complaining of obstructive nasal symptoms. Turbinate surgeries are performed for airflow management as well. In our practice we do not recommend entire caudal septal replacement.

The short answer is yes- the caudal septum is relatively complicated to fix. In general, that is the portion of the septum that is left behind after all the other portions are removed if deviated. Since this is a "supporting beam" so to speak, it needs to stay and be augmented rather than removed. There are many methods to do this and like you are doing, I would go visit with a few different surgeons and get their opinion. We also can project ahead of time what we may do, but most of the time when you get into surgery, the plans may change slightly if the initial idea doesn't correct everything adequately. Best of luck

Dear Curved Caudal Septum, The caudal septum is deviated quite frequently and I perform this procedure often in my practice. Turbinate reduction or out fracture of the turbinates is also routinely done to improve patient's airflow. A consultation would allow a proper diagnosis and a surgical plan would then be put in place. The video above and link below show two examples of patients with this procedure performed.
