Deviated septum, my nasal tip is still crooked - how to fix? (photos)

Question

I got rhinoplasty septoplasty years ago. I had a sever deviated septum, now years later I notice that my nasal tip is still crooked.

Based on your photos, you appear to have an indentation along your left nasal sidewall. There is also a relative lack of volume in your left tip compared to your right tip. This is causing a c-shaped nasal appearance. Depending upon your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 maybe considered for adding volume to the left side of your bridge and tip for a more symmetrical nasal appearance. Hope this helps!

Hi @Forceful769312! Thank you for sending your photos. Your nose appears to be deviated to the right. I would recommend a revision rhinoplasty with possible rib harvesting. A rhinoplasty in my opinion is one of the most difficult procedures to perform. The skill, artistry, and technique of the surgeon will determine your outcome. In my practice, I utilize piezosurgery. Piezosurgery is a more gentle technique that allows for greater precision. Less bruising and swelling is common with Piezosurgery. In a typical rhinoplasty, a hammer and chisel technique is performed leading to more inadvertent fractures. I hope this was helpful!

The point you need to be careful while searching for the best surgeon is the time between the before and after photos of your surgeon.

Hello! First of all thank you for your question.I have evaluated your case regarding the information you provided and your photos.You have a deviated nose to the right. If you have some breathing issues, you can have a secondary septorhinoplasty with rib cartilage reconstruction. Your left sidewall needs to be supported with spreader grafts and tip to be taken in the mid-line as much as possible.

Straightening a crooked nose is not always possible and the septoplasty doesn’t guarantee a straight nose. I would not have further surgery as getting it straight would be hit or miss no matter who does it
