Would a rhinoplasty be necessary to correct asymmetry, nose shape, and a deviated septum? (photos)

Question

I am concerned about my nose shape. One nostril is a lot bigger than the other, and i think i also have a deviated septum. According to my knowledge, this is due to a injury that happened to me in childhood that led to swelling and pus. Please give some advices. (I really dont want to do a surgery, but if that's the only option, I might consider doing it) [photo included]

Thank you for your query. Based on your photographs you have a crooked nose and a deviated septum. The treatment is surgical, a septorhinoplasty, if you wish to improve the shape of your nose as well as your breathing. Please find an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Hi , during A septo rhinoplasty both the functional aspect and the aesthetic aspect are addressed in the same surgery leading to better functional outcome and appearance. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery 
process.

HI Powerful

You have quite a marked deviation of the septum and this can be addressed with a septorhinoplasty. Other options include filler or threads but they are stopgap measures and wont address the underlying problem.
Cheers

Based on your photos, you appear to have a crooked nasal appearance and a deviated nasal septum. Generally, problems like this are repaired with septal rhinoplasty surgery. If you have no functional issues involved, the feasibility of a non-surgical nose job would require more photographs. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Yes, you will definitely need a rhinoplasty.  Your nose is asymmetrical, leaning towards one side and the septum is visible.  This is the only solution to correcting the problems.

Best Wishes,
