Hi there! A septoplasty as you know improves the positioning of deviated cartilage within the nasal cavity. The procedure is done via incisions intranasally and the results can be life-changing. It appears your nose has a deviation to the left. A basic septoplasty will focus on addressing your breathing but likely will not change your external appearance. In order to completely improve the septum, an open septorhinoplasty would be needed to help straighten the nose and its bone. If breathing is your only concern, a septoplasty will likely be enough. But, if appearance matters, something more involved would be needed. Seek consultation with a facial plastic surgeon with an ENT background to learn more. Hope this helps!

Yes, you have a deviated septum--this can be seen in your photographs! The goals of a rhinoplasty operation depend on your concerns. If you have breathing problems, your breathing can be improved by straightening the septum (among other things). Your nose can be made straighter, and if you have concerns about the appearance of your nose, these can be addressed as well.

Your nose is quite crooked and it’s not surprising that you have a deviated septum. I don’t know if you have breathing problems. I think your appearance could be improved significantly with a rhinoplasty and septoplasty.,I should let you know however that even among very experienced rhinoplasty surgeons, straightening a crooked nose is a hit or miss proposition. It could probably be improved but not necessarily perfectly straight.. this is is true no matter who gives you any impression otherwise. Or who you go to. It is still quite worthwhile having the surgery done but your nose will probably not be perfectly straight.

Rhinoplasty and septoplasty: if you just want to improve the airway, a septoplasty can be performed. This alone would not have any significant effect on the appearance of the nose except to make it look straighter in the front view. If you wish to trim the dorsal hump and reduce the overall projection of the nose, And have an improvement in appearance, then a rhinoplasty could be performed along with the septoplasty
