A crooked nose can alter the balance of the face and, in certain instances, cause difficulty in breathing. This can happen due to genetics, injury, or changes in the shape of the nose. If you’re not satisfied with your crooked nose’s shape or function, you might be wondering whether rhinoplasty can fix it.
The positive aspect is that in most instances, rhinoplasty can improve a crooked nose by reshaping and repositioning nasal structures. Dr. Haitham Akash carefully reviews each patient’s needs and wants and discusses the best surgical plan to achieve them at JJ Aesthetics.
What Causes a Crooked Nose?
There are a number of causes of a crooked nose. In some cases, the nose is naturally crooked, and in others, the nose becomes crooked due to an accident or surgery. A crooked nose may also be caused by a deviated septum. The septum is the wall in between the two passages of the nose. If it tilts to one side, it will impact both the look and airflow of the nose. A crooked nose can be caused by the nasal bones, cartilage, septum or a combination of these.
Can Rhinoplasty Fix a Crooked Nose?
Yes, nose surgery for a crooked nose will enhance not only the nose’s appearance, but also its function. The surgeon can reshape the nose bones and cartilage, correct a crooked septum, or make other changes to establish a well-balanced form during surgery.
The method employed will depend on the cause of the crooked nose. If a deviated septum is also causing breathing problems, then a simple cosmetic correction might be inadequate. Therefore, it is important to have a detailed examination prior to surgery.
Can Rhinoplasty Improve Breathing?
In some cases, breathing can be enhanced during rhinoplasty surgery if structural abnormalities are causing nasal blockage. A deviated septum can be treated with surgical correction (septoplasty) in addition to rhinoplasty. This can help solve both cosmetic and functional issues. Rhinoplasty may not be able to correct all breathing difficulties, however. It’s important that your surgeon determines the cause before suggesting treatment.
 What Happens During Crooked Nose Rhinoplasty?
Dr. Haitham Akash first evaluates your nose, facial proportions, skin, nasal bones, cartilage, and breathing issues before surgery. He then decides upon the surgical strategy, depending on your specific anatomy.
The surgeon will create deliberate incisions and reconstruct the nose during the surgery. In some cases, the defect may be corrected with surgery to straighten the septum, place bones in the correct positions, reshape cartilage, or perform other structural surgery. Its aim is to achieve a straighter and more balanced nose and a harmonious face.
What Is Recovery Like?
Swelling and bruising are normal after a rhinoplasty procedure. There may be temporary nasal congestion too. These effects slowly improve as your nose heals.
The majority of patients will require some time off work, and strenuous activity should be avoided during the initial recovery phase. Your surgeon will give you detailed instructions on sleeping position, exercise, and nasal care, as well as follow-up appointments.
It is crucial to keep in mind that recovery from rhinoplasty can be a process. The swelling that happens initially can reduce within a couple of weeks; however, there is a small swelling that may last for many months. The final results may not be fully evident.
Can a Crooked Nose Become Straight After Surgery?
While rhinoplasty can help to create a more symmetrical nose, it may not always be possible to get the nose to be exactly straight. The final result may be influenced by the complexity of the pre-existing deformity, cartilage memory, skin characteristics, and natural facial asymmetry.
Before surgery, your surgeon should help you understand what you can expect to achieve. For more complicated cases, further procedures may be required to make further corrections.
