Do I have caudal septal deviation and can this be corrected? (photos)

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photos, it might be a caudal septal deviation but It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. However, It can be fixed with rhinoplasty surgery. If you can provide photos with better lighting, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. Best Regards!

If your nasal septum is associated with a crooked nasal appearance and a droopy nasal tip, rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for both functional and cosmetic improvement. Please consult with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging so you could see what to expect after surgery. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello, A septum that appears from the nostrils is called cudal septal deviation and it can be corrected together with the droopy tip in septorhinoplasty surgical procedure.

Hi It is possible to solve this problem I think it is not only entrance of nostrils the deeper of nose has a deviation conterside and hypertrophic turbinate problem also sometimes it changes outside of noseIt is easy to solve this problem

Thank you for your question. A caudal septal excision is a routine portion of a rhinoplasty procedure. It is very straightforward and easy to do. Your pictures are very limited, so it is difficult to give you any other advice. Make sure that you seek only experienced plastic surgeons who have a specific interest in rhinoplasty. Best wishes to you.

It appears that your caudal septum is deviated what is the reason of tip asymmetry (which we do not see because of your fingers). In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty, would give you the best opotunity receive answers to your questions. Good luck.

That is so easy to take care of. I just cut out the lower portion of cartilage which is deviated. Many surgeons try to straighten it which is much more complicated and not as successful. What you want done could be done in half an hour. Done it hundreds of times as part of overall rhinoplasty

Based on your pictures, it does look like it is caudal septal deviation. The treatment of caudal septal deviation typically involves surgical intervention. A caudal septal deviation refers to a deviation or displacement of the lower portion of the nasal septum, which can contribute to nasal obstruction and cosmetic concerns.

The specific surgical technique used to correct a caudal septal deviation depends on the severity of the deviation and the individual patient's needs. The most common procedure for addressing this issue is called a septoplasty. During a septoplasty, the surgeon will make incisions inside the nose to access the deviated septum and reshape or reposition it. The aim is to create a straighter and more symmetrical nasal passage.

In some cases, additional procedures may be performed concurrently with septoplasty to address other cosmetic concerns, such as a droopy nasal tip. These additional procedures might include cartilage grafting or tip rhinoplasty, which involve reshaping or supporting the nasal tip to improve its symmetry and appearance.

It is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon or otolaryngologist who specializes in nasal surgery. They will evaluate your specific condition, including the extent of the caudal septal deviation and any associated concerns, and recommend the most appropriate surgical approach.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Yes indeed, you have caudal septal deviation. It's probably not deviated enough to create nasal obstruction at that point unless you have further deviation of your septum in the back of the nose. A deviated septum is only repaired when their significant airflow restrictions, and you have failed medical management. From a cosmetic standpoint, this would only need to be reduced if you have a hanging columella from the side profile
