Good morning. My nose makes me insecure because I think it's crooked. I don't really want filler because I would prefer a stable result. It is possible a small operation under local, involving a small resection of the underlain cartilage (of the side 2, where you can see a bump - it is not a cyst because a made a visit)? Or, is it better to put some cartilage on the other side, the side 1? What would you do? Thank you so much for your time it means a lot to me.

Answer: Mild nose asymmetry There are different ways to correct such a small asymmetry. Fillers and cartilage grafts should be considered. However, only on the basis of in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty one could give you the best advise. Good luck.

Answer: Cartilage graft for crooked nose: Cartilage graft for crooked nose: if you do not wish to undergo a septoRhinoplasty to straighten the nose a more limited procedure which can usually be done under local anesthesia, would be to take a piece of cartilage from the back of your ear and add it as an “onlay“ graft to the concave side which is your left. This is a camouflage technique and does not truly straighten the crooked septum but makes it “look straight“. A full septorhinoplasty with direct work on the septum would be another way to go which is a little more involved.
