content abstract

Anomalous nose is divided into congenital and postoperative. Congenital crooked nose is often distorted in appearance and poor ventilation due to asymmetry of the nasal bone/nasal septum; postoperative crooked nose is mostly caused by deviation of the prosthesis or poor bone healing. Correction method: Congenital nasal osteotomy + septoplasty; postoperative prosthesis deviation requires adjustment/replacement + capsule treatment; postoperative bony deviation requires re-resection and fixation. CT must be performed before surgery. Standardized surgery has a low recurrence rate and avoids postoperative trauma.

How to correct crooked nose

There are two types of crooked noses: congenital crooked and postoperative crooked

Congenital crooked nose: Asymmetrical nasal bones/nasal septum formed during birth or development, usually with skewed appearance and poor ventilation.Postoperative crooked nose: Deflection caused by deflection of the prosthesis after rhinoplasty, uneven traction of the capsule, or unsatisfactory healing position of the nasal bone.

What tests must be done before surgery?

CT是必须的——只有CT能看清鼻骨和鼻中隔的骨性结构,帮助医生精确判断偏斜的部位和程度。Dr. Long Chengyun面诊时会结合CT和你沟通具体手术计划。

common problems

Q: Will the crooked nose become crooked again after correction?
A: The recurrence rate after standardized surgery + adequate healing is low. Avoiding nasal trauma after surgery is the key.

Q: Can you improve breathing at the same time?
A: If a crooked nose is accompanied by ventilation difficulties caused by deviation of the nasal septum, it can be corrected during surgery.
