I have a deviated septum that has made the tip of my nose asymmetrical. One side caves in further than the other side and it looks crooked. Depending on the lighting and shadows on my face, it is sometimes not very noticeable and other times extremely obvious. What can be done to fix this?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can understand from your question. For get rid of this asymmetric image I recommend you Rhinoplasty.If you can provide photos with better lighting, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best regards!

Answer: Fixing a crooked nose: Fixing a crooked nose: in some cases asymmetry of the nose is caused by an underlying deviated septum. In other cases it may be due to asymmetry of the nasal bones, or previous trauma or developmental asymmetries. In the single picture you show the asymmetry in your case appears rather minor but there are multiple procedures that can be done during a rhinoplasty or septoplasty or combined rhinoplasty and septoplasty to address asymmetry and crookedness. Crooked noses cannot always be made perfectly straight and sometimes need secondary adjustments. But that is true of severely crooked noses which yours is not.

Answer: Rhinoplasty to improve shape... From your photo, you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty. It's not just the septum that causes asymmetry - the cartilages that make up the tip can be asymmetrical as well. A well performed rhinoplasty can improve these things and refine the tip. It is important to understand that no nose will look great from all angles and in all different kinds of light so it's important to be realistic in expectations.

Answer: Crooked Nosed Tip / Septum Based on your photos you would likely need a rhinoplasty surgery to achieve your goals. You need to see a board eligible or board certified plastic surgeon to ensure an adequate history and physical exam is obtained / taken. Only then can you appropriately provide treatment recommendations for a patient, especially when it comes to a complex procedure such as rhinoplasty. Please ensure that you find a surgeon well trained in rhinoplasty, and ideally one with 3D imaging software that can help you see the postoperative goals.

Answer: You are an excellent candidate for septorhinoplasty Thank you for the photo. From what you have sent it appears that you have asymmetry of your lower lateral cartilage with a pronounced concavity on the right. Your septum, though it may be deviated, is not contributing to this finding. I would suggest a septorhinoplasty in order to address any functional and cosmetic nasal issues that you would like to improve. An experienced surgeon will be able to explain all of this in a concise fashion.
