How Straight Can a Crooked Nose Be Made?

During the rhinoplasty procedure, we are able to straighten the nose to its pre-injury state. In the majority of cases, the nose stays where its new straight anatomical position. On a rare occasion, it can drift back slightly to where it used to look, but as long as the operation is performed correctly and the nose bones have been rebroken the nose should stay in its new straight anatomical alignment.

A crooked nose is often slanted due to the position of the septum. For optimal straightening of the nose an experienced nose surgeon has to examine the nose and determine which elements of the nose are not in their rightful positions. The repair and straightening of the nose would then be based on what is off and by how much. There are various operations, each of which has different objectives. The one best suited for you would depend on the specific findings of your examination.
