Hello! Since i was a child i broke my nose a few times and never got it fixed. One dr says i have a slight deviated septum. It was head on injuries where the bump is and one dr told me the bones were splayed. Is this true and would this kindof rhinoplasty require the osteotomies?
Answer: What kind of rhinoplasty would this require? Every nose is different and unique to that individual. If the appearance of your nose concerns you enough to do something about it, it can be improved with a natural artistically performed rhinoplasty and probable septoplasty. What would be the best option and exact procedure would depend on an examination and discussion about desired outcome. Excellent results can be achieved with either a closed or open technique.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. The exact type of rhinoplasty would really depend upon a hands on examination. Based on your photographs I believe the cartilage and bone of your nose would need to be addressed, and depending on your difficulty breathing the septum may also need to be addressed. I suspect this would fall within the realm of a standard 'closed' rhinoplasty and you would have an excellent result. However, to discuss the specifics of the operation, you would need to be evaluated and I would recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon specializing in rhinoplasty. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Type of Rhinoplasty Hi there! There are different approaches to rhinoplasty. One approach is the closed, which involves operating via incisions inside the nose, only. The other is the open approach which involves raising the skin to fully expose the cartilage and bone underneath. When trauma is present, I find it useful to perform open rhinoplasty to fully visualize the damage. Osteotomies are often needed to shift the bones into a more aligned position. Additionally, the septum should be addressed to improve breathing and provide grafting material (cartilage) to keep the nose in a good position. Based on your situation, I would recommend a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon to determine what option may be best in your case.

Answer: Yes With a deviated nose, deviated septum, and some irregularities in your bones from trauma, you would need an open rhinoplasty, septal reconstruction, and yes osteotomies to get everything straight and smooth out irregularities. You should be seen in person to be evaluated and find a well-trained surgeon that you like. Best of luck!
