Is my crooked nose fixable? (Photo)

November 24, 2024
Asked By:folsome in Washington, District of Columbia

My nose has been crooked for the last 15 years or so. I had a septoplasty at 17 to improve breathing issues, but I was unable to fix the cosmetic issues with my nose. I hate how crooked my nose is as well as how far down my nose projects when I smile. I just want to understand realistically what could be done to fix it. For context I don’t know exactly how it became crooked, my parents tell me that it was broken while playing sports.
