A nose that appears crooked to the naked eye,
Many people decide to undergo nasal surgery because it causes stress.
Because the nose is located at the center of the face,
it plays a very important role in determining a person's first impression.
In many cases, a crooked nose also has a deviated internal structure,
so it can cause not only aesthetic concerns but also functional problems.
Today, shall we take some time to look at what functional problems can occur when the nose is crooked,
and whether there is a possibility of recurrence after crooked nose surgery correction?

Why should crooked nose surgery be done?
A normal septum is straight and properly aligned.
When the lower part of the septum is curved in a C shape,
it is called C-shaped septal deviation,
and when the septum is curved both up and down to form an S shape,
it is called S-shaped septal deviation.
If the shape of the nose is crooked, it can change the appearance
and cause functional problems,
so it is better to correct it.

What is the possibility of recurrence after crooked nose surgery?
The causes of a crooked nose vary, including congenital causes, trauma,
and deformity after nasal surgery.
Because it may become crooked again even after correction,
it is most important to determine the surgical method
according to the cause, location, and degree of deviation.
Shall we take a look at how surgery is performed when the nasal bone is crooked
and when the septal cartilage is crooked?

Case 1. When the nasal bone is crooked?
First, when the nasal bone is crooked, the bone is separated through medial osteotomy and lateral osteotomy,
then corrected properly,
and the cartilage is gathered inward
so that the nose can be improved into a straight, symmetrical shape.

Case 2. When the septal cartilage is crooked?
Also, if the septal cartilage is crooked,
the curved portion of the septal cartilage is partially removed and straightened,
and cartilage is added to the bent area
so that it can be corrected properly.
As such, the surgical method may vary depending on the area of deviation.
