My nose is crooked towards left side and my midline is towards right side how can these two problems solved?
Answer: I have a crooked nose and off-centered midline, what are my options to fix these issues? #rhinoplasty #nosejob Thank you for your question. Based on your pictures and question, I would say that would be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. The concerns you raise (the crookedness of the nasal dorsum) can all be addressed with an open rhinoplasty. During this procedure, the underlying cartilage and bone are reshaped and reduced in size to help give more refined appearance to the nose. Precise sutures can be placed in the nasal tip cartilages, as well, to help narrow and rotate the tip if this is needed. I would suggest you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty. Here you will have a full evaluation and be able to discuss your goals for surgery. Be sure to look at before and after photographs, as well. I hope that this helps! -David Gilpin

Answer: Straightening a crooked nose Your assessment of your nose is quite correct. Fixing a crooked nose is tricky. The most important thing is to identify whether the nose is crooked due to crooked cartilage, bone, or both. Fixing crooked bone requires osteotomies which breaks the nose to straighten it. The lower part of the nose requires other interventions such as spreader grafts and perhaps septoplasty. During your rhinoplasty consultation your surgeon will discuss with you the several options available to you. Good luck!

Septum is fixed and a more aesthetic appearance can be obtained with the closed rhinoplasty approach without making any incision in the columella.

Answer: Crooked nose and off-centered midline, what are my options? The nasal areas that you described and would like improved can be addressed with a nasal surgery (rhinoplasty) and a possible septoplasty which are typically done at the same time. A natural appearing nose can be achieved when the procedures are performed by an artistic plastic surgeon with extensive experience in nasal surgery. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on a limited two dimensional photo without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) ) or the Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (CSAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California
