One side of my nose is depressed as I have a deviated septum should I get Rhinoplasty? (photo)

A deviated nasal septum that causes nasal obstruction needs to be surgically fixed. If it is not causing any obstruction then the only reason to fix it is to help straighten the nose. Straightening the nasal septum is integral in straightening a crooked nose. Whether you should do it or not is a personal choice. If it bothers you then you should. RegardsDr. JDisclaimer:

A septoplasty is performed for medical necessity when there is blocking of airflow in the back of the nose by a deviation of the bone or cartilage. This will not change the shape of the nose. A rhinoplasty is performed for cosmetic purposes to straighten the nose, and change the shape. Osteotomies of the nasal bones will be required to  straighten the nasal bones. A cartilaginous spreader graft may also be required to be placed underneath concave upper lateral cartilage. Both a septoplasty and a rhinoplasty can be performed at the same time if the patient so desires under one anesthetic. For many examples, please see the link below to our rhinoplasty  photo gallery

 A septorhinoplasty seems like a reasonable choice, but there are many ways to address the asymmetry.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who has performed hundreds of rhinoplasties. Look for great reviews and great before
and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
