My nose is pushed to the right side and on the left side there is a bump and a hollow dip underneath the bump where my nose begins to tilt to the side as if my nose had been broken (I don't remember ever having done anything to my nose). Can my nose be straightened out? What else would you suggest I do to get a nicer looking nose?

Answer: Straightening a Crooked Nose Deformity In many cases of a crooked nose, the bridge can be straightened to provide a more pleasing shape. At the same time, the surrounding areas can also be reshaped to give an overall more aesthetically pleasing appearance to your nose. Attached is a link to my online resource where you may find more detailed information on repair of the crooked nose deformity.

Answer: Can my nose be straightened? If the appearance of your nose concerns you enough, it can be straightened and cosmetically improved with a rhinoplasty. Whether it is worth doing is a decision that is personal and only you can make. Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. The extent and length of the procedure, cost, and the specific operative steps to achieve an ideal cosmetic result vary from patient to patient and would depend on the findings at your consultation examination.
