Is my Crooked Nose a Result of a Broken Nose? How Bad is It? I Have a Slight Deviated Septum from It. (photo)

It is difficult to tell exactly what may have caused the crooked appearance of your nose. A rhinoplasty can help. In general, it is not always possible to get the nose 100% straight, but great improvements can be made. I would recommend seeking the advice of a board certified rhinoplasty specialist. He/she will be able to examine your nose in person and provide you with advice. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you for your question!It seems that you can benefit from a corrective rhinoplasty but without a physical examination it is not possible to provide you with additional details.The finest
cosmetic results in any particular case are based on a variety of factors,
including: the unique anatomy of the patient, realistic expectations, a
well-informed and detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon concerning the
best options for you especially covering a deep understanding of the pros and
cons of any given choice you will adopt.



Please keep
in mind that following the advice from a surgeon online who offers to tell you
what to do without a physical examination covering the nature and the status of
the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and
discussing the pros and cons of each operative solution would not be in your
best interest. With that in mind, it is the safest and for your best interest
to find a plastic surgeon with solid experience and certified by the American
Board of Plastic Surgery who is ideally a member of the American Society of
Plastic Surgeons that you will trust and be comfortable with. You should discuss
your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Is possible the trauma created the irregularity in your nose. This can be corrected with a rhinoplasty. Internal airway work can be done concurrently.

     It is difficult to know why a nose looks the way it does.  The nose can be straightened through a closed rhinoplasty approach.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Yes your deviated nasal appearance can be correct via a septa-rhinoplasty surgery. Best to SEEK IN PERSON evaluations!/// 

Yes, I see the deformity in several pictures. Of course an exam in person is essential but it does look like you can benefit from corrective surgery.  Good luck.

The nose undergoes many instances of minor trauma over the years this sometimes leads to damage of the septal cartilage.  These small microtraumas can be cumulative and result in a curved septum.  Some times a curved or twisted septum is just the way you developed.  In any event you can be evaluated and this problem can be corrected and your nose can be made straighter.  

Your nose is definitely crooked. You will probably never know if there was any specific cause or event. A septorhinoplasty can improve you significantly. Be sure to find a surgeon with experience and comfort  with deviated crooked noses as their correction is more challenging then routine rhinoplasties and not all surgeons are comfortable or skilled doing them.

It is not uncommon to develop a crooked nose, usually during early adolescence, without a specific trauma.  It occurs as your face grows and matures, and reflects underlying asymmetries of your septum and face. We have quite a series of these noses, and interestingly enough the concavity is much more often on the right than on the left.

As noted by other responses, you need an experienced facial plastic surgeon who does a lot of noses, to ensure the best result.

 A rhinoplasty would involve osteotomies of the nasal bones to straighten and realign them in the midline. In addition, a spreader graft composed of the patient's own cartilage needs to be placed on the concave upper lateral cartilage area( patient's right side). A septoplasty may also be required if there is nasal obstruction. Please see the link below to our rhinoplasty photo gallery for examples similar to your own.
