I recently went to an ENT who told me I have a deviated septum that will require surgery. She said I can add a rhinoplasty to my procedure and so before going to consultations I wanted to learn more about what type of nose I have/what result examples I should be asking surgeons and what needs to be fixed. I've also long wondered why my side profiles look so different from another. Any insight would help a lot, thank you!

Answer: What’s most important is what you don’t like about your nose. Not what you learn from the internet A deviated septum often goes with a crooked external nose. However, septoplasty will have no affect on you nose externally. We often perform rhinoplasty with functional septoplasty. I can list all the things I see on your nose, but what is most important is what you don’t like. The difference between the two sides are from having a crooked nose. There is no “type” of nose but to list some of the most prominent issues are your crooked nose, a hump on the bridge and a wide tip. I find that computer imaging, both 2-D and 3-D Vectra helps a lot to visualize potential results and show what your nose might look like. It can also help demonstrate subtle or more invasive results.

Answer: Rhinoplasty along with septoplasty: Rhinoplasty along with septoplasty: The septoplasty that you discussed will hopefully improve the breathing but not significantly change the appearance of the nose except perhaps to make it look straighter. You do appear to have a dorsal hump and a bulbous tip. These can be addressed in a traditional rhinoplasty if they bother you. This can be performed along with the septoplasty if you desire. The two profiles look slightly different because of the asymmetry of the bridge.
