Question 1

what to do if i dislike my nose. why is it so crooked?

Accepted Answer

Nose issues: I don't know why your nose is crooked. Were you born that way or did you sustain trauma to your nose (like a fracture) . Some people consider cosmetic nose surgery.

Question 2

is it possible for your nose to get more crooked over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Crooked noses are either congenital (you're born with uneven nasal bones) or acquired (after a broken nose or other trauma). In either case, the degree that your nose appears crooked can become worse over time from either uneven growth of the nasal bones or from scar contracture that tends to exaggerate the apparent deviation.

Question 3

i've broken my nose a while ago n it grew crooked  how would i get it fixxed witout having to pay so much?

Accepted Answer

Medical school?: Depending on where you live, there may be a medical school that wouldn't expect you to pay much. Or you can decide that having had your nose broken gives you character and deliberately not have it repaired, like celebrity owen wilson.

Question 4

as i get older and older, my nose gets more and more crooked. what are some of the possible causes? can i get it fixed?

Accepted Answer

Weak cartilage: The cartilage of the nose weakens and the skin thins as we age. This can lead to airway obstruction and cosmetic abnormalities. Rhinoplasty is an excellent option in these case. Many of my rhinoplasty patients are in their 40-50s.

Question 5

how to fix a crooked nose?

Accepted Answer

Rhinoplasty: A crooked or deviated nose usually requires treatment with a rhinoplasty. There are various reasons the nose can be deviated including the nasal bones, the septum or various cartilaginous structures in the nose. You should see a facial plastic surgeon for consultation to determine the source of your deviation and the best way to address it.

Question 6

any advice? i have broke my already crooked nose?

Accepted Answer

Plastic surgery: Depending on your insurance, correction after a broken nose is covered. Depending on the severity of the break (fracture) and the crooked nose, it may be something that can be fixed at the same time. Otherwise, cosmetic deformities unrelated to the injury may need to be counted separately and you would have to pay for that portion of the surgery. The best way to know is to see a plastic surgeon.

Question 7

what to do if i broke my nose and now it's crooked?

Accepted Answer

Straightened: Crooked nose can be realigned.  Ask PCP to refer you to Plastic Surgeon or Ear/Nose/Throat Specialist for evaluation.

Question 8

is it possible to correct a crooked nose after a long time?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It would require an actual rhinoplasty though. When a nose is freshly fractured, it can be reduced and set to close to what it was. After a long time, a surgeon has to freshly break bones of your nose and reset it to correct it.

Question 9

hi docs, would septoplasty slightly fix my crooked nose?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Septoplasty is a surgery done within your nose to correct deviation of your nasal septum. Most of the changes are noticed internally, not likely to fix a crooked nose.

Question 10

could septoplasty swelling make nose look crooked?

Accepted Answer

Septoplasty swelling: Could make your nose look different but once the swelling goes down,  you nose should be what it was prior to your procedure.  If your nose is truly crooked after a septoplasty, you should be discussing this with your surgeon.
