I have a deviated septum which is pushing into my right nostril and makes it look uneven. My nose is normal, but the right nostril makes it look really crooked. Will a Septoplasty without Rhinoplasty put my nostril back to its place and make my nose look normal again
Answer: You may also require a rhinoplasty... seek consultation. In most cases, deviation of the nasal septum causes obstruction of the nasal airway and curvature of the nose.Under these circumstances a septoplasty can relieve airway obstruction, but a rhinoplasty is usually necessary to straighten the nose.In your case, the distal septum has curved to one side and appears to be protruding into the nostril, distorting the nostril and creating asymmetry.Under these circumstances, septoplasty can re-position the distal septum into a midline position.In many cases this is enough to correct nostril asymmetry.Unfortunately the cause of nostril asymmetry, is usually multifactorial and other anatomic components may require treatment as well.This may require a rhinoplasty.If you’re concerned about nostril asymmetry, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is appropriate.This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your concerns.

Answer: Septoplasty for uneven nostrils.
Yes it can. If its the only cause. Remember caudal deflection of the septum are technically difficult so the success rate is less than you or the surgeon wants.

Answer: Traditional septoplasty won't, but septo-rhinoplasty can
Traditional septoplasty corrects the internal parts of the septum that are blocking the nasal air passages. The bottom edge of the septum, which lies between the nostrils, is generally not altered in traditional septoplasty. So the nostril shape or crooked base of the nose would not change.
However, this area of the septum can be repositioned or replaced during septo-rhinoplasty. The bottom of the septum (caudal margin) determines the shape and position of the columella, the skin between the nostrils. So with septo-rhinoplasty your nostril shape may be restored to a symmetrical orientation.

Answer: Septoplasty for uneven nostrils Hi, It sounds like your "caudal septum" is deviated. Caudal septoplasty can be challenging but if that is the only reason your nostrils look uneven, and the caudal septoplasty is performed well, and you heal well, then that should take care of the uneven nostrils or significantly improve them.

Answer: Correcting a deviated septum can correct uneven nostrils There are many causes of uneven nostrils including differences in the amount of nasal skin of the nostrils, differences in shape and size of the right and left paired nasal tip cartilages, and the shape of the caudal or lower part of the septum between the tip cartilages. If your problem is exclusively the septum, fixing this issue will make your nostrils more symmetric.
