Straight Nose on an Asymmetrical Face?

August 9, 2010
Asked By:28584anon in united states

i have a deviated septum but i dont ever recall having broken my nose. I believe that I was born with it because I've realized that my entire face isn't aligned: the left side of my jaw is longer than the right side, i have one eye higher than the other ( i can only see this from one side), my question is: can i have my nose made straight if my face is assymetrical? my nose is quite deviated from my left side(longer side of jaw) but seems more normal on the shorter side of the face.
