The nose is located in the center of our face and has a very important impact on personal image. Many people in life have a crooked nose, which affects life and aesthetics, and some even form functional damage and psychological problems, at this time we can choose crooked nose correction surgery. What is a crooked nose? Crooked nose, i.e. nasal crookedness, includes simple or joint crookedness of nasal bones, nasal septum cartilage and nasal lateral bones. There are both congenital and acquired factors in the formation of a crooked nose. The congenital factors are mostly due to nasal deformities caused during embryonic development. Acquired factors are mostly due to trauma. Minor cartilage injuries during childhood can persistently affect the normal growth of cartilage cells and lead to significant deformities. Most crooked nasal deformities are mostly caused by nasal bone and nasal septal cartilage distortion, which inevitably causes nasal septal deviation due to nasal bone distortion, or soft nasal distortion caused by nasal septal cartilage distortion alone, or in severe cases, due to compound deformity of nasal septal cartilage, nasal lateral cartilage and nasal bone, often accompanied by nasal bridge collapse. What are the types of crooked nose? Crooked type: This type is also called simple crooked nose, which is a deviation of the nasal cartilage, i.e., the lower part of the nose, and can also be accompanied by a mild deviation of the nasal bones. Most of them are congenital or caused by trauma in early childhood. Type C: The nasal root and tip are located on the axis, and the middle of the nasal bridge is bent in a C-shape away from the central axis. S type: This type is also called complex crooked nose, the nasal cartilage and bone cone are deviated in different directions in S shape. What are the surgical methods to correct the crooked nose? 1.Acute traumatic crooked nose: Bone crooked nose within 2 weeks can be repositioned by closed method and the fracture displaced bone piece by manipulation. 2.Congenital/old cartilaginous crooked nose: loosen all the cartilage, septum and bony structures causing the crookedness, adjust to the median position and fix properly 3.Congenital/old bony crooked nose: add nasal bone osteotomy to reset. 4.Endoscopic correction of crooked nose: the correction of crooked nose can be done under “direct vision”, which clearly shows the crooked structure of the operation area, with clear vision and more accurate and easy bone cutting. In addition, there are more methods of crooked nose correction, and different methods are used for different reasons, deformities and degrees. Crooked nasal deformity can cause a significant lack of appearance, such as a composite deformity resulting in a crooked nose, if only the nasal bones are corrected without correcting the septum, then the nasal bones may be crooked again after a period of time after the surgery. Therefore, it is important to go to a regular doctor for consultation and correction. This will ensure our post-operative results and get rid of the crooked nose!
