Why is my Nose So Crooked? (photo)

Question

hey all i didnt notice how crooked my nose was until a couple weeks ago people started to ask me if i had ever had it broken but i never have, my nose was always prone to being hit with a ball so i think it is probably sports related.

Aaron Stone, MD · Answer

It looks like you took a hit with a ball coming in from your left so it pushed the bridge over to your right. Both the bone and cartilage portions of the bridge are off to the right. Standard septorhinoplasty should fix this. If the bone did not splinter when it was hit the bone correction will be easier to perform at surgery with a greater chance of an optimal result.

Yes your nose is crooked. This can be refined and straightened in one operation. Select an ex perienced rhinoplasty surgeon and you should have a good improvement.

Edward S. Kwak, MD · Answer

Your nose looks very similar to many patients I see interested in straightening a crooked nose. Some of the most common causes of a crooked nose include a deviated septum,  a depressed upper lateral cartilage, and malpositioned nasal bones.  Based on your photos, I would assume you likely would have nasal breathing issues.  If so, you would benefit from a functional rhinoplasty.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Your nose is crooked possibly because you sustained trauma in the past and now the bones are pushed off to one side and the septum is crooked.  An exam in person is the best way to tell.

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD · Answer

The key to a straight nose is a straight septum.  It appears that your nose deviates off to the right side.  A septoplasty and rhinoplasty can improve your appearance.
