Symptoms of Crooked Nose Correction and How Surgical Methods Differ by Case Improve Satisfaction

Crooked noses can cause various nose-related conditions such as rhinitis and sinusitis.

Therefore, if the nose is crooked, it is advisable to correct it promptly through surgery not only for aesthetic reasons but also to improve functional aspects.

Why Crooked Noses Need Improvement

A crooked nose is one in which one side of the bridge is slanted, and the line from the bridge to the tip is bent into an S-shape or C-shape.

There are many different causes of a crooked nose, but nasal bone fractures caused by blows or trauma are common. A crooked nose like this is not just an aesthetic problem; it can also cause difficulty breathing through the nose or various functional issues such as rhinitis, sinusitis, and a deviated septum.

Therefore,

People whose noses are crooked and look unattractive People who often have nasal congestion or suffer from nose-related conditions People with crooked nostrils People with a crooked nasal implant

In these cases, it is wise to consider crooked nose correction.

How is crooked nose correction performed?

The most important point in crooked nose correction is starting by aligning the axis that is twisted and difficult to match as much as possible.

The nasal bone is a structure located above the upper jaw bone. Therefore, in cases of malocclusion where the upper and lower teeth do not align properly, or in cases with facial asymmetry, a crooked nose may also occur as a result. For such cases, the skeletal structure has been twisted for a long time, so it is difficult to create a perfectly straight nose with a single nose surgery. Therefore, for a safe and satisfying result, it is wise to perform the surgery so that the nose looks as straight as possible.

▶ Cases where the degree of crookedness is mild

A well-shaped silicone implant is inserted into the bridge to correct it so that it appears visually straight.

▶ Cases where the degree of crookedness is severe

In addition to septoplasty, the inner and outer sides of the nasal bone are cut and repositioned at the same time through medial osteotomy or lateral osteotomy, or the curved lateral cartilage is resected or repositioned. By using a combination of nasal surgery methods, the focus is on creating a straight nose with no recurrence.

▶ Cases requiring lateral osteotomy in crooked nose correction and the surgical method

The area where the nasal bone meets the upper jaw bone is cut, bringing the nasal bone toward the center and making it straight based on the midline. This makes it possible to reduce the width of the nasal bone and complete a sharper shape. In the case of lateral osteotomy, compared with other nose surgeries, the recovery period is longer and more effort is required for care.

How to perform surgery for cases where the nose becomes crooked after rhinoplasty

There are also cases where the nose becomes crooked after rhinoplasty. These include cases of left-right asymmetry, asymmetry caused by a deviated septum, or cases where an implant is positioned incorrectly on the bridge. In such cases, the revision surgery method differs depending on how the bridge is crooked.

▶ Cases where the bridge is left-right asymmetric

Symmetrical correction is performed through lateral osteotomy, in which the outer side of the nasal bone is cut.

▶ Cases of asymmetry caused by a deviated septum

The crooked cartilage is straightened to correct the crooked nose.

▶ Cases where the implant is misplaced on the nasal bridge

The nasal implant used during rhinoplasty is removed, and after the space where the implant is inserted is made symmetrically and straight, a safe implant is inserted.

Rhinoplasty should be performed with consideration for both aesthetic and functional aspects. It should also be based on anatomical knowledge of various types of rhinoplasty.

Therefore, it is important to receive surgery from a board-certified plastic surgeon who has anatomical knowledge of the nose and extensive experience with various cases. In addition, it is necessary to find a clinic where the medical team systematically handles everything from consultation to surgery and postoperative care. Because this is a surgery in which implants are often inserted, it is safer to look for a procedure that uses autologous tissue, which can reduce risk, create a more natural line, and is safer than artificial implants that may cause various side effects, and to receive a 1:1 customized nose job tailored specifically to you.
