Why is my nose deformed? I had a septoplasty 9 years ago

Question

I had a septoplasty 9 years ago that has deformed my nose. I also only breathe well out of one nostril still

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Your septoplasty had nothing to do with the issue on your nasal tip cartilages. On the left side of your nose, You have a normal convex  lower lateral cartilage. The lateral crus of your right lower lateral cartilage is concave. This usually requires cartilage grafting techniques to make the right side look more like the left. It's important to know how much cartilage is left over on the inside of your nose for grafting purposes, since you a cal had septoplasty in the past And you may have a cartilage depleted nose
