Answer: Crooked nose after trauma Thanks for your question. Sorry to hear about your accident! The nose is the most frequently fractured part of the body and a lot of the time these kind of injuries go unnoticed. It's a little difficult to tell just from these pictures; sometimes new crookedness comes from a deviated septum. Your nasal bones can be fine, but if your septum is off it will make your nose go off to one side or another. It also depends on how long it's been since your injury, since swelling can disguise subtle things. I'd visit with a facial plastic surgeon to get an idea of what your options are.

Answer: Crooked Nose? after Trauma Your nose is asymmetrical or crooked. If the accident occurred recently see another surgeon ASAP because some treatments are easier within the first two weeks. If this is an old injury consult with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for an evaluation and discussion of alternative treatments.
