Could a rhinoplasty alone help with facial asymmetry? Or should I consider getting something else done? (Photo)

You would benefit from a rhinoplasty and septoplasty. In your photograph from below, you can see your nose is leaning towards one side. The procedure will take about 2 hours under general anesthesia and will cost $7,000.

Based on your photos, you appear to have a somewhat crooked nasal appearance on front view, and a low dorsal hump on profile that may be distracting. Depending on your examination, rhinoplasty surgery techniques may be considered for achieving a narrower and straighter nasal appearance along with a less projected and less distracting nasal profile appearance. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hi from Istanbul! A rhinoplasty alone can certainly help in making your nose more straight, which would likely contribute to a more symmetrical appearance of your face. This alone could be sufficient to address your concerns. It's important to remember that slight asymmetries are normal in human anatomy. Best of luck to you!

Your crooked nose may well be from a prior injury. This can be improved with a rhinoplasty although perfect symmetry is not always possible

It doesn’t look that trauma in the past has affected anything else but your nose. Since bone maturation age is behind you can safely consider nose surgery now. Good luck.

Your nose and facial symmetry:
Your nose appears to be displaced to the left. this is probably the reason why you perceive your face as being asymmetric. a Septorhinoplasty could be done to attempt to place the nose more in the midline. I believe that would solve most of your issues.

A closed rhinoplasty will help with nasal asymmetry by straightening your nose, shaving down the dorsal hump. Also important to know if you have a deviated nasal septum on the inside of the nose which is restricting airflow as well. The septoplasty in a rhinoplasty can be performed together when necessary

All people have facial asymmetry. The concept that a face is symmetrical, should be eliminated sooner rather than later. During embryological development, the two sides of the face develop independently from each other, and eventually fuse in the midline. All people have significant facial asymmetry. In your case your nose is deviated and it has Everything to do with your previous nasal fracture and little to do with your facial asymmetry. You can tell this because your nose deviates from your midline if you follow the midline from your forehead through your lips down to your chin. Your nose should’ve been reduced soon after the fracture in a perfect world. At this point, you may choose to have , an elective rhinoplasty. I suggest consulting with a few plastic surgeons/facial plastic surgeons in your community.
I suggest you resist the temptation to make your own assessment.
