Q. In a deviated nose surgery, will failing to correct the crooked nasal bone cause problems with nose growth?

Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, the head doctor of Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic, designing noses that suit your existing facial features.

Today, someone who was curious about deviated nose surgery said they were worried that if the nasal bone deviation caused by an injury is not corrected, it might affect nose growth, and asked a question about it.

Q. In a deviated nose surgery, will failing to correct the crooked nasal bone cause problems with nose growth?

About 7 days ago, I injured my nose a bit while playing soccer, and my nose was bleeding heavily and hurt a lot...

Then, 3 days later, my nose started getting blocked, and when I put my finger into my nose and touched the cartilage area, I found that it was bent a lot to the left.

Do I need to go to the hospital now and get deviated nose surgery?

I heard that even if the nasal bone is crooked, it still grows, but if it is broken, the nose cannot grow. I’m only 18, and my nasal bones are still growing, so do I really need deviated nose surgery?

1. If I do not correct the deviated nose, what kind of illness can occur?
2. If the nasal bone is crooked, does the nose still grow? I’m really curious about this.
3. If I have surgery, should it be done after I turn 20 and after growth has completely stopped?

1. If I do not correct the deviated nose, what kind of illness can occur?

-> If a crooked nose is left uncorrected, it will look crooked cosmetically, and a deviated septum and rhinitis may occur.

2. If the nasal bone is crooked, does the nose still grow? I’m really curious about this.

-> It will grow in a crooked state.

However, since you are currently 18 and your height is over 170 cm, it seems that most of your growth has already been completed.

3. If I have surgery, should it be done after I turn 20 and after growth has completely stopped?

-> No. If the bone is not surgically corrected right away after being injured, it will remain crooked.

Later, you would need surgery to break the bone and realign it, and because insurance does not apply, the cost is high.

After about 3 weeks, bone surgery becomes impossible, so please visit the ENT or plastic surgery department at a nearby university hospital as soon as possible to receive a reduction procedure.

I hope you get a good result.

I hope this consultation answer was helpful.

Thank you.

This is a before-and-after photo of a female patient with both a crooked nose and a bulbous nose appearance.

In the photo, you can see that the bridge of the nose is bent to the right.

By performing osteotomy together, the crooked appearance seen from the front was corrected to a straight alignment.

This is a case where the nose is crooked and the tip is also twisted.

In addition, the nostrils may feel overly exposed from the side.

After surgery, you can see that the feeling of the tip being crooked and the center being turned to one side has been brought back to the middle.

This patient visited us because of a slightly crooked nose.

Looking at the preoperative photo, the nose is bent to one side, and you can also see that the nostrils are spread outward at the sides.

The feeling of the tip drooping downward can be improved by correcting the depressor muscles, and because the patient has a high nasal bridge, the procedure was done without using a separate implant.

Make a consultation reservation with Kowon!
