How can my crooked tip be fixed?

Question

I have a very crooked tip. I’ve read about how septoplasty is performed but since I have a crooked tip, what has to be done differently? Also, the side of my nose that isn’t crooked is pinched. Could I get that fixed while also straightening my nose?

Thank you for your question. A combination of techniques will be used to improve your nose to achieve your desired result. If I were you then I would consult in-person with a board certified facial plastic surgeon so you can be evaluated to determine if the procedure is right for you. 
Best wishes,

Hello, thank you for  question and information, based on them them your issues can be addressed to Septorhinoplasty. It fixes functional problems inside the nose, fixing the deviation also corects the crookedness. You need both functional and cosmetic Rhinnoplasty, which is Septorhinoplasty, by Closed and Atraumatic technique tissue damage will be prevented, your healing will be maximal, edema&swelling minimal and no scar on your columella.Regards,

Dear rreischl,Thank you for your question. A septoplasty is a functional surgery that affects the cartilage inside your nose. Correction this deviation is part of the surgery to correct crooked nose. A septoplasty, alone, however is not sufficient. You will likely need a septoplasty and rhinoplasty to achieve the goals you want.Good luck,Nirmal R. Nathan, M.D.

Your photograph shows deviation and asymmetry of your nose.  You need to discuss surgery that would break your bones to realign them and surgery to reposition and straighten your septum.  This is often complex, difficult surgery.  Your tip itself looks symmetric.  It should come into line if the bones and septum are addressed.
