Why is my nose crooked in pictures? (Photo)

There is a slight asymmetry to the tip, but with the pictures shown there does not seem to be an asymmetry to the dorsum.  This can occur as part of your normal growth and development.  Most of our face is asymmetric, but we do not notice it as much as we do in our noses.  Consult a member of the Rhinoplasty society in your community discover more about treatment options if you are interested in refinement of your nose. 

If we were to put a line down our face, you would see that we are not exact mirror images.  There will be slight changes that make us who we are.  If you would like to make a change, meet with a Board Certified Facial Plastic surgeon who can guide you in your decision to have a rhinoplasty or other procedure that might make things more symmetrical for you.

No
one ever "needs" a rhinoplasty. It is an elective procedure and only
you can determine if your nasal features concern you enough to do something
about improving the cosmetic appearance of your nose and whether it would
worthwhile.

Following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes
to tell you exactly what to do based on limited 2 dimensional photos without
examiningyou, physically feeling the
tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and
discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your
best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon with extensive nasal
surgery experience who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
(ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (ENT) that you trust and are comfortable
with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Additional information
about the procedure will help you decide if it is a procedure that you want to
pursue.
