Facial asymmetry is normal to some extent in most people.

Sometimes it may be due to underlying differences in bone structure – like in craniosynostosis, hemifacial microsomia, or a facial cleft.

Here, her nasal tip and nasal bones are subject to a subtle craniofacial “twist” from a history of craniosynostosis, even after previous cranial vault reconstruction. There is less projection of the left brow/orbit, and slight peaking of the skull base on that side.

This may also have contributed to the saddle nose seen with a dip in the mid-vault seen well from the oblique view.

Open approach rhinoplasty with structural reconstruction included spreader grafts, fixed columellar strut and septal reset, and nasal bone osteotomies. This lined up the upper, middle, and lower 1/3rds of her nose, and improved her breathing.

The nasal envelope will continue to smooth out as the skin and subcutaneous tissue adapts to the underlying structural support over time.
