Is my crooked nose fixable? (Photo)

Based on your photos, your columella appears to be off the midline to the right side. This is associated with nostril asymmetry on front view, and a small indentation along the side wall of your nose on the left side. Is difficult to comment on what type of treatment you would need without being able to examine your. Depending on your examination, revision rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for achieving a straighter and less distracting nasal appearance. Please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists so you could see what might be best for you moving forward. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. The characteristics of your nasal tip appear consistent with the description from your parent’s account, suggesting that the asymmetry may be related to a cartilage fracture resulting from a sports injury. Focused moderate-energy impacts to the nasal tip can indeed cause fractures of the domes of the lower lateral cartilages, leading to the shape you are experiencing.

It is possible to correct this cartilage asymmetry surgically, often with the assistance of grafts. These grafts can be sourced from the nasal septum, but in some post-traumatic situations, rib cartilage grafts may be necessary to achieve better control over the shape and stability of the reconstructed tip.

Computer simulations can be a useful tool for defining your aesthetic goals regarding rhinoplasty. However, it is important to understand that while the surgical outcome may closely resemble these simulations, it will not be identical due to the natural variability in healing and tissue behaviour.

Hi, It is better for you to consult with your facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on examination. your tip is off a bit, it could be related to trauma

Hello! Thank you for your question
As far as I can see from your photos It is possible to realize your wishes with a single rhinoplasty surgery, it is possible to get a more elegant nose that is compatible with your face.It would be better face to face consultation
Best Regards!

Thank you for posting your question here!My answer will be based on the limited information and pictures provided, for a detailed and personalized plan please consult with a plastic surgeon in person.
Many factors can lead to a crooked nose, including crooked nasal bones, crooked septum etc , it is hard to tell the culprit without an exam. A rhinoplasty +/- septoplasty can address those issues. but depending on what was done prior this will dictate how extensive the surgery will be, but you will likely benefit from surgery.I hope this helps!, best of luck!

You would benefit from a rhinoplasty. Your nose is slightly asymmetrical and you have some contour irregularities dorsally. Also, the base of the nose is too wide and will need to be pulled in.

The short answer is yes, for sure. We can readily correct this and improve your appearance and breathing. This would be a rhinoplasty with septoplasty likely. The cartilage may be twisting or not supporting the sides well. But, it should be greatly improved in a 60-90 minute procedure.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, nasal tip deprojection, placement of spreader grafts to help straighten your nose, among other maneuvers.. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

A crooked nose is often fixable through procedures like rhinoplasty, which can straighten the nasal bones, refine the tip, and improve symmetry. Grafts may be used for stability, and tip projection can be corrected. Consult a qualified surgeon for an evaluation and realistic outcome expectations.

Thank you for sharing your story. Addressing a crooked nose, especially with a history of septoplasty and potential past trauma, requires a thorough and personalized approach. In cases like yours, the correction often involves working on both the internal structure and the external appearance, adjusting cartilage and bone as needed to balance functionality and aesthetics.Understanding how your nose affects your smile and its projection is equally important, as there are specific techniques to address these concerns. It’s likely that options are available to significantly improve the shape and harmony of your facial features while respecting your natural structure and personal goals.
