I was punched in the face at 14 and my nose was slightly broken but not fully but it seems to have healed crooked as well as with a bump. Is the crookedness fixable? I know the bump is but can it all be done without changing my nose drastically? And also what can be done about a deposit of fluid or fat under the chin from thyroid issues? Anything?

Answer: Crooked nose Yes, most of your concerns can be addressed surgically. My recommendations would include reducing the hump, narrowing the bony base, repostioning and narrowing the tip and alar rim grafts to lower the nostrils. You certainly should have an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon or a facial plastic surgeon well-versed in rhinoplasty. Chin is hard to comment on without a physical exam but if there are areas of asymmetry that can be corrected with a combination of gentle liposuction and fillers or fat grafts. Best.

Answer: Rhinoplasty for crooked nose and dorsal hump The dorsal hump is composed of both bone and cartilage and must be shaved down in order to remove it. Osteotomies placed in the nasal bones are required to straighten them. When there is a crooked upper lateral cartilages in the midportion of the nose, a spreader graft is used straighten that area.
