For certain people, including some of your favorite celebrities, having a crooked nose acts as a unique trademark.

Keep reading to discover the benefits of rhinoplasty surgery for correcting nasal asymmetry, and find out what life-changing results may be possible for you.
Why is my nose crooked?
Almost everyone has at least a subtly asymmetric nose. In most cases, the level of asymmetry is minor and virtually imperceptible to others. However, some patients have significantly crooked noses. There are many reasons why a person’s nose may appear bent, crooked, or asymmetric. Some of the most common causes of nasal asymmetry include:
- Trauma/broken nose
- Previously botched nose surgery
- Genetics
- Deformity
- Deviated septum
How do you fix a crooked nose?
For minor asymmetries, some people use makeup, contouring, and other superficial techniques to improve the appearance of the nose. Another solution for nasal asymmetry, depending on the nature and severity of the patient’s concerns, is the use of injectable dermal fillers to reshape and smooth out the contour of the nose. While these options can certainly provide some level of enhancement, the most effective solution for correcting nasal asymmetry is, undoubtedly, rhinoplasty surgery.
Which kind of rhinoplasty do I need for nasal asymmetry?
Because the nose is such a unique feature from patient to patient – both anatomically and cosmetically – Dr. Chiddy takes great care to customize each nose surgery to match the patient’s personal needs and goals. Types of rhinoplasty procedures most frequently performed to address concerns regarding nasal symmetry include:
- Traditional rhinoplasty
- Functional rhinoplasty
