Will straightening my nasal tip in Rhinoplasty be enough to straighten my septum too?

March 5, 2015
Asked By:irsi in Los Angeles, CA

I had a caudal straight taken out in rhinoplasty and it made things much worse. I was also hit in the nose very hard and it shifted the entire tip to the left 1 year ago. No bones were ever broken, but based on changed in breathing and headaches and how the nose looked as it healed, I suspect my septum collapsed. With bolstering my columella and my nose from below be sufficient to help with the nasal crookedness and my breathing problems?
