Bent Nose
A bent nose in rhinoplasty refers to a condition where the nasal structure is crooked or deviated, often resulting in asymmetry or an irregular appearance of the nose. This can occur due to various reasons, including congenital factors, nasal trauma, or previous unsuccessful rhinoplasty procedures.
Fix-It
To achieve a straight nose, it is crucial that the underlying nasal framework is completely aligned. Each component is carefully assessed to ensure symmetry, as even a slight asymmetry can cause the nose to appear off-center.
Typically, our approach begins with straightening the nasal septum and other cartilages. This may be followed by an osteotomy. Prompt treatment of nasal bone injuries is important, as they can heal in a crooked position if left untreated, usually within about three weeks post-trauma.
Septoplasty
Correction of a deviated septum through septoplasty is often the first step in addressing a bent nose.
Osteotomies
Osteotomies can help correct any bony deviations contributing to the bent nose appearance.
Cartilage Grafts
Depending on the extent of nasal asymmetry, cartilage grafts may be used to reinforce and reshape the nasal framework.
Tip Refinement
In cases where the nasal tip is asymmetric or deviated, techniques such as tip grafting or repositioning of the tip cartilages may be employed to achieve a more balanced and harmonious nasal contour.
Revision Rhinoplasty
For individuals with a history of unsuccessful rhinoplasty or persistent asymmetry after previous surgery, revision rhinoplasty may be necessary to correct residual deformities and achieve desired aesthetic outcomes.
