Can nasal tip & pollybreak be fixed without addressing crooked septum in revision surgery? (photo)

A closed rhinoplasty can be used to reduce the pollybeak, straighten the nose, and
refine and lift the tip. Find a board certified plastic surgeon 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. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Hi Sheldon: Revision rhinoplasty can be difficult but I do think an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon could make a significant improvement.  Cartilage grafts can be used to straighten a crooked septum.  Likely, simply removing a bit more of the dorsal septum will straighten your profile and remove the hump.  Tip cartilage sutures and possibly a small cartilage and/or fascia graft for camouflage will make your tip more symmetric. Best of luck. 

 It is possible to leave the deviated septum  alone. The dorsal hump and poly-beak can  be addressed by shaving down the bridge line. A spreader graft will also need to be performed underneath the concave upper lateral cartilage area. For many examples, please see link below

Revision rhinoplasty is done to correct the deformities after the primary rhinoplasty and therefore, all of the problems are usually addressed. The septal deviation which often leads to nasal deviation, as well as poly beak deformity can easily be corrected by any experience surgeon. 

A crooked septum always wants to stay crooked, but there are several maneuvers including using grafts to try to straighten it.  The tip certainly can be lifted, and the pollybeak most likely related to inadequate resection of dorsal septum can be treated.
