I'm 16yrs old, and I've been noticing that my nose is crooked on one side. I sometimes have pain, & a little tickle, itchy feeling.
Answer: Why is my nose so crooked on one side? Dear gurrolaAt first glance it appears that you have had a nasal fracture likely from blunt trauma. You should first discuss your concerns with your parents and then perhaps together see a board certified plastic surgeon (or facial) to have your nose assessed and your questions answered.

Answer: Rhinoplasty for crooked nose The photograph demonstrates a crooked nose, most likely the result of previous trauma. A hump is present and asymmetrical. A rhinoplasty procedure can address shaving down the dorsal hump which is composed of both bone and cartilage. Osteotomies of the nasal bones are required to set the nasal bridge line straight. A cast will then be applied across the bridge of the nose for one week, and expect 2 weeks of visible bruising and swelling for recovery. You will also need parental consent up until age 18. For many examples of crooked nose repair in our practice, please see the link and video below

Answer: Crooked nose Hello Gurrola805,The pictures clearly show you have a nose that is deviated to the left. It looks like you may have taken a blow from the right side of your nose at some point. The best option would be to be evaluated by a facial plastic surgeon or a plastic surgeon that focuses on facial surgery. The important questions will be in regard to previous trauma and difficult breathing. If your appearance bothers you there are definitely ways to help correct it. If you have difficulty breathing that can all be addressed at the same time. I hope this helps and good luck.
