What would you do in surgery to get me close to my desired look, and how close can I get to a straight nose? I can't breath through my nose and it's causing issues for me and most impactful is the affect having a broken nose has on my confidence. Just curious what I should communicate to my surgeon and what you guys would recommend? Thank you :)

Answer: Rhinoplasty for the crooked nose. You need a septorhinoplasty done by a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. You should not have to tell the surgeon anything other than bring a few photos of noses you like. Choose a surgeon who does natural noses you like!

Answer: What would you do to straighten my nose? Hello and thank you for the question and sharing your photos. I believe you are a good candidate for septorhinoplasty (rhinoplasty with correction of septal deviation). You have a small dorsal hump and a bulbous nasal tip, as well as what seems to be a deviated septum. You will benefit from reduction of your dorsal hump and nasal tip refinement. My best advice is that you discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals with a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in performing rhinoplasty. I would ask to see before and after pictures of their real patients. It's important that you trust your surgeon's skills and ability to achieve the results you are looking for. In particular, pay attention to your surgeon's experience with rhinoplasty. Best,
