Hello - I've always been self conscious about how my nose looks at certain angles. I'm wondering what type of rhinoplasty I would need to fix how the end twists making my nostrils uneven. The tip seems to droop outwards a bit as well. What causes this type of deformity? Thanks so much!
Answer: Your nasal tip asymmetry may be due to a deviated nasal septum. Based on your photos, you appear to have thin nasal skin with an overprojected, wide, and crooked nasal tip appearance. Since your columella veers to your left side, I suspect this is being caused by a deviation in the bottom of your nasal septum. Please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging so you can see what might be best for you moving forward. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Rhinoplasty to improve shape... Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Your tip is fairly wide and boxy and this can be narrowed to look nicer. Your septum is probably crooked at the end, and fixing it can often straighten this area out while the rhinoplasty is performed. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

Answer: Open Rhinoplasty Thank you for providing photographs. An open structural rhinoplasty would best address your boxy nasal tip (poor definition), nasal deviation, and wide nasal bones. In an open rhinoplasty procedure all of the cartilage structures that contribute to these deformities are directly visualized and re-contoured in order to achieve your goals. The key to a straight nose starts with a straight nasal septum so I would straighten your septum and use the extra cartilage from your septum to support the projection and rotation of your nasal tip. I hope this helps!

Answer: Caudal Septal Subluxation A rhinoplasty alone will not correct for the deformity that you have demonstrated in your photos. You will need to address the bottom portion of your nasal septum at the same time that you undergo rhinoplasty or your nose will remain twisted, or become twisted again over time no matter how well your rhinoplasty is executed.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.
