What procedure is recommended to straighten my nose? (Photo)

Question

Hi im 29 years old, as a kid I fell & busted my lip pretty badly. I think it also changed my nose. I tried filler to straighten it but don’t see much change. What can be done in my case for a more symmetrical look?

Andrew Miller, MD · Answer

Based on your photo, a filler should be able to improve your nose. Maybe it needs to be used a little more aggressively. If you want a more permanent result, rhinoplasty with cartilage grafting can help the nose line up straighter. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

The frontal photo suggests deviation through the bridge and tip, although the single image and existing filler limit assessment and overall facial asymmetry also affects how straight the nose appears. Filler can camouflage a small depression by adding volume, but it cannot reposition crooked bone or cartilage and may make the nose look wider.

An examination should determine whether the deviation involves the nasal bones, septum, middle vault, tip cartilages, or airway. Depending on those findings, septorhinoplasty may use osteotomies, septal correction, structural grafts, and tip repositioning. If the filler is hyaluronic acid, the surgeon may recommend dissolving it and allowing the tissues to settle before final planning. Meaningful improvement is possible, but perfect symmetry is uncommon after trauma; choose a surgeon experienced in crooked-nose rhinoplasty and discuss breathing as well as appearance.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can see from your photos, nose fillers can be quite harmful to the tear ducts, so we do not recommend them. Even if 100% symmetry is not possible due to facial asymmetry, it is possible to achieve a more symmetrical appearance that suits your face with rhinoplasty surgery. I recommend rhinoplasty surgery.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Based on your photo, you appear to have a small indentation along the right side wall of your nose. Microdroplet Silikon-1000 nasal injections may be considered for adding permanent volume into the concavity, and for providing a straighter and less distracting nasal appearance. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

From the photo you included I don’t think your nose is that crooked. You could undergo a full rhinoplasty but even that surgery will
Not guarantee a straight nose. So I’m not sure it’s worth having that done

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

You will need a rhinoplasty with possible septoplasty as your septum appears deviated. The rhinoplasty will be done to correct the bone as well as the cartilage of the nose. The tip can also be refined.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include placement of spreader grafts to help straighten your nose, tip refinement, tensioning of the tip, 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.

I don't believe myself and probably nobody within your inner circle that your nose is that badly asymmetrical, sometimes we get focused on minor anatomical issues that are absolutely natural and normal, and we magnify them.

It is true that tiny asymmetry can be improved, but at what price? Do consider the economical costs and the hassle, probably won't pay off.

Asymmetry is natural in human anatomy and you have a beautiful face.

Non-surgical options to correct your slightly deviated cartilage bony area of nose would be using HA fillers injected correctly expect fee to arrange from $1000-$2000 and possible repeating every 3 to 6 months. No surgical options are rhinoplasty without fracture and filing of nasal hump and tip revision with scar revision of upper lip fee is $10,000-$20,000 range for that combination.
