Swollen cartilage makes my nose look crooked. Can it be fixed? (Photo)

It is hard to say why your nose remains crooked. Usually it's a persistent deviated septum, asymmetry of the upper lateral cartilages with a collapse on one side and/or a fullness or angulation on the other or skin or subcutaneous fat on the underside of the nasal skin which is unnoticed when the skin is elevated during the procedure. Since even the most severely deviated noses can usually be straightened, it is most likely the doctor's inability to recognize the issue or to apply the appropriate methods of correction that results in a persistence of the deformity.
