Cost to fix crooked columella? (photos)

Hello,An in person consultation is needed to fully determine if your columella is the issue. As for the price, it is very difficult to determine because every surgeon prices differently. In my practice, a rhinoplasty can range from $8,000 to $15,000 dollars. All the best, Deepak Dugar, MDScarless Rhinoplasty ExpertBeverly Hills, CA 90210

From the pictures you provided, I believe you have a subtle dislocation of your caudal septum to the left.  This is similar to a sliding door being off its track, which can adversely affect the tip cartilages.  I recommend you seek consultation with a rhinoplasty surgeon!

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can
accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your
lower nose. You may also benefit from cartilage grafting to help straighten your columella.  Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise.  Make sure you specifically look at before and after
pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon
and not just a computer animation system. The most important
aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

The caudal septum is likely deviated to that side and causing fullness of your columella on one side.  A tip rhinoplasty should be able to correct this.  

From the photos it looks as though you may have had prior surgery. It will be important to tell your surgeon a complete history including any previous surgery to your nose. Regardless, it looks like a faily minor correction that can probably be performed in the office under just a local anesthetic. Go get some consults. Good luck.

 The cost to fix a crooked columella is directly related to the amount of time it takes to perform the procedure in formal operating room, cost to monitor the patient under anesthesia by  a physician anesthesiologist, and the surgeon's fees for performing the procedure in addition to all the post operative follow-up appointments. Is also important  to have realistic expectations, since there is no perfect nose

Only after an in person examination with a boarded surgeon could determination of potential operative options be discussed. fee ranges from $4,000 to $10,000.

Your tip cartilages are asymmetrical which can be improved with a tip-plasty but the crooked septum may also be secondary to a deviated septum. You need to be examined by an experienced rhinoplasty specialist to determine what needs to be done.

You can correct this shape, and it may require a distant septal restructuring ( often referred to as a caudal septoplasty).  As always should be done, a full examination of the shape of the nose by a competent Plastic Surgeon in nasal surgery should your first consideration.  Online consultations can only offer you an opinion, but would never be as accurate as a full in office evaluation.  Please do your homework and find such a doctor, go for an examination, and good luck to you.Frank Rieger M.D.  Tampa Plastic Surgeon
