My nose is crooked and I wanted to get it fixed. It has never been broken. When I look at pictures from when I was younger, it is perfectly straight, so I'm guessing its just growing this way. I usually see a crooked nose is caused from a deviated septum, which I think I have. I'm imagining a crooked nose is very hard to fix, so would there be a great deal of pain? Would it also be much more expensive?
Answer: Common problem to fix with rhinoplasty Great question! from your description it seems like it has changed as your nose and septum have grown over time. By age 17 or 18 the nose becomes very stable and it's safe to proceed to rhinplasty. Straightening the nose and septum is one of the most common things we fix during rhinoplasty, and the deviated portion of the septum that needs to be repaired is often covered by insurance, though the rhinoplasty is not, so there will be some out of pocket expense. It adds a bit of time to the operation but nothing drastic and it's a very common request. I think you are a great candidate for a rhinoplasty. -Dr. David Mattos, New York Plastic Surgical Group

Answer: Fixing a crooked nose The crooked nose represents one of the most difficult challenges seen in rhinoplasty surgery. This problem often involves the nasal bones and nasal septum. Correction of this problem may require septoplasty and in some cases rhinoplasty surgery as well. When septoplasty surgery is combined with rhinoplasty surgery, the pain is similar to when rhinoplasty surgery is performed alone. In some cases, the expense of surgery may be slightly higher when rhinoplasty and septoplasty are combined. If you’re considering rhinoplasty surgery for a crooked nose, it’s important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this area. It’s important to realize that no two patients with crooked noses are ever exactly alike. For this reason it’s important to have a comprehensive evaluation. Based on this evaluation, your surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Can Fix Crooked Noses Rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult and complex cosmetic plastic surgeries to perform. Fixing a crooked nose could require breaking bones and/or resetting the cartilage, but this is actually a standard part of most rhinoplasties. Rhinoplasty in general is not a painful procedure. Cost of a rhinoplasty vary greatly based on the experience and reputation of the doctor. I hope this helps.

Answer: Rhinoplasty pain is the same whether nose is crooked or not A crooked nose is corrected through a traditional rhinoplasty technique by performing osteotomies and sometimes placing spreader grafts in the middle third of the nose. Just because the nose is crooked it is not going to make the nose surgery any more painful or expensive than a traditional rhinoplasty. Since the nose is crooked, the nasal bones do have to be reset through osteotomies, but that is no more painful than a traditional rhinoplasty. Typical cost for a rhinoplasty including the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, and operating room is approximately $6,000.

Answer: Rhinoplasty for a Crooked Nose Hi M, You are a very pretty girl, even with a slightly asymmetric nose. Your crooked nose can be straightened. Surprisingly, the great majority of rhinoplasty patients do not complain of pain nor require pain pills after surgery. Your nose should feel stuffy and you may experience some increased pressure similar to sinus congestion type discomfort for a few days after surgery. The cost of the surgery should be similar to the cost of other types of rhinoplasty. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
