I've heard fixing a crooked nose is more complicated, is this true? (photos)

Thank you for your question. You are right on. Straightening a crooked or twisted nose is always more challenging than say refining a tip or reducing the bridge. However, rhinoplasty surgeons are trained to correct this using a variety of techniques, most often using cartilage from your septum. Moreover, cartilage has memory which the surgeon must take into consideration. Ultimately in these cases, I advise patients that their nose will most likely not be "perfectly" straight, but if dramatic improvement is acceptable, then surgery may be worth it. I hope this helps, and I wish you all the best.

Thank you for your question. It is true, that fixing a crooked nose can be more challenging. Our goal is always to get a nose 100% symmetric, but it is one of the hardest things to do. In the hands of an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon, however, a straight nose is possible. At my practice, we use imaging software to show patients what they can expect after surgery which helps to meet patient expectations and to ensure we are on the same page. The most important thing is to find a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty. Best of luck!
