Q. Septoplasty, my nasal cartilage seems bent. How much does crooked nose correction cost..?

Hello. I’m Kim Hyung-taek, CEO and head surgeon of Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic.

Today, someone said that while squeezing a pimple on their nose, they felt like the nasal cartilage had become bent, and while looking into septoplasty, they asked because they were curious about the cost of crooked nose correction.

Q. Septoplasty, my nasal cartilage seems bent. How much does crooked nose correction cost..?

When I was in middle school, I was going through puberty and had a pretty large pimple on my nose..

But while squeezing it, I heard a sharp pop! sound from my nose, so I hesitated for a moment and then pressed it back into place.

Then a friend kept teasing me while looking at the blemish on my nose...

Even though I tried to ignore it, I kept being bothered by it, and while trying to squeeze it, I think it bent again. Later, I found out that my friend was jealous of me and was deliberately making me self-conscious..

In the end, my nose ended up looking crooked, and my confidence in social life and relationships dropped a lot.

Last year, I took photos for orthognathic surgery, and the doctor there also said my nose was crooked.

They said I should have it corrected at the same time as the jaw surgery, but even that was a big burden, so I did not have septoplasty. I usually heard that crooked nose correction costs about 250 to 350.

Does the cost of septoplasty for crooked nose correction fluctuate within that range for each person? Is my nasal cartilage very bent?

In general, it is difficult to say that squeezing a blemish would bend or break the nose.

That level of force is not enough to bend the nasal cartilage, and it is also difficult to break the nasal bone.

The crooked appearance of the nose in the photos above may be caused by a deviated septum.

If you are considering orthognathic surgery, it would be better to have that surgery first and then proceed with septoplasty.

If you do not plan to have orthognathic surgery, then it would be better to have septoplasty. Since the nose appears crooked in the photo as well, and the cost of crooked nose correction varies by clinic, it would be most accurate to check directly.

I hope this consultation answer was helpful.

I wish you good results.

Thank you.
