Patient's question:
The lower part of the nose is crooked; it's been like this since birth. It always looks a bit awkward, and I feel it's different from normal people. Can surgery change it?Doctor's answer:
Deviated nose is caused by various factors. First, it is due to congenital developmental issues, where the nasal bones and septum become deviated. Second, it is acquired. Due to trauma, collisions, car accidents, or traffic accidents, nasal bone fractures can occur, leading to a deviated nose. If the deviated nose is caused by a curved septum, it can be improved through septal correction. If it is due to nasal bone deviation, osteotomies can be performed to straighten the misaligned portions. Through methods such as osteotomies and internal advancement, deviated noses can be corrected, and in some cases, grafts may need to be placed on the bridge of the nose to improve the condition.
