I'd honestly never really noticed that my nose was crooked until recently when someone did one of these facial symetry tests on me. I'm not sure how it ended up like that, I dont think it was as crooked as a child. Is there any way to improve the appearance without surgery?
Answer: Non surgical rhinoplasty The role that non-surgical rhinoplasty can play in addressing asymmetries of the nose is limited. While small filler amounts can fill subtle divids and camouflage contour depressions and deficiencies by solely achieving a "filling" function, they fail when "sculpting" and "reshaping" is really what the true aesthetic goals should be. In cases of significant asymmetry, often controlled breakage of the bones (osteotomy) and excision of deformed cartilages with structural and/or camouflage cartilage grafting is required to properly correct the asymmetry and obtain long term and yet natural looking results.

Answer: Crooked nose Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your single photograph, surgery is the best way to straighten your crooked nose. Nonsurgical methods do not work well for this. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Answer: Nonsurgical option for crooked nose As a specialist in rhinoplasty surgery, I hear concerns like yours all the time. It is very common to have a crooked nose even without any trauma. You may have a deviated septum causing the crookedness, or it just might be the way your body grew and matured. Some providers might offer you an injectable filler to the nose in an attempt to equalize the two sides, which would just give the illusion the nose is straight, but would make your nose much wider. If this truly bothers you, which it might not since you hadn’t noticed it until someone pointed it out, I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and to see if rhinoplasty is the right option for you. On the other hand, if it doesn’t bother you, you could also just leave your nose alone, since it is perfectly normal to have some asymmetry.

Answer: How to correct an asymmetric nose without surgery In many cases, there is no way to correct a severe nasal asymmetry without surgery. Minor irregularities, shadowing, and deficiencies can be helped with filler, but a very crooked nose cannot, especially when the tip is deviated. Adding filler to the nose in these cases will typically just make the nose look wide, but not really correct the problem or even camouflage it very well.

Answer: How can you correct a crooked nose? The question you’ve asked is a great one, with an answer that’s somewhat complex - please bear with me. While it is absolutely possible to to balance out minor nose humps, bumps and asymmetries non-surgically, this is not, unfortunately, something I would recommend in your particular case. This is because a non-surgical rhinoplasty is performed through the use of dermal fillers injected under the skin to add volume to certain areas to bring them forward and augment the shape. Although this often works well for patients with small bumps, notches or dents in the nose (you can liken the procedure to filling a hole with sand), in your case these injections would need to take place on the entire left side of the nose and would add quite a bit of width to the front of your nose, which would likely look more conspicuous than the initial asymmetry.
