What should I do if my nose is crooked?

A crooked nose refers to a congenital developmental problem, or a situation where the nose becomes crooked due to an accidental event. This is due to the misalignment of the nasal bones. A crooked nose bone can easily cause the nose to appear crooked. It can be treated through corrective surgery, or it can be improved by tapping the nose to correct the bridge of the nose, improve the nose shape, etc. It can also be treated through rhinoplasty surgery, and you can also massage the nose yourself to correct it.

What should I do if my nose is crooked?

This situation is usually caused by the misalignment of the middle bone of the nose (the bridge of the nose). It is generally easier to expose in frontal photography. By doing it yourself, if you are under 30 years old, you can promote the growth of your nose bridge again, and minimize the error if it is crooked. It is impossible to do so. To achieve the absolute middle standard, one has to undergo plastic surgery to remove the middle bone (but that will have negative effects and the sequelae are absolute). Even replacing it with other cartilages is not very good. Supplement: Manually, the middle bone is moved to the correct position as much as possible with external force. It is normal for each of us to have a triangular shaped nose. A crooked nose is usually caused by the middle supporting bone being crooked and covered by the nose flesh. There is another piece of cartilage above the middle supporting bone, which will disappear after the person dies. The crookedness is also related to the cartilage. Manual massage can promote the growth of cartilage. The middle bone supports growth. The disadvantage is that it will make the nose look bigger. On the contrary, it would be suitable to have plastic surgery on a big nose at this time. The cost of cosmetic nose surgery is (2000-3000). You must go to a regular one! Don't be greedy for cheap things, or you will suffer a big loss! There are several manual methods: one is to use the thumb and index finger to gently pinch along the nose, several times a day. The second is to use the middle joint of your index finger to scrape the middle cartilage of your nose several times a day. The third is to rub it in front of a mirror and align it with your hands.

Rhinoplasty

Deviated nose correction surgery. Deviated nose is mostly caused by trauma and developmental abnormalities. It is divided into three types: bony, cartilaginous and mixed. According to its shape, it can be divided into three categories: "C" shape, "S" shape and oblique shape. For bony deviated nose, the nasal bones must be completely freed and loosened before realignment and correction. If the injury is within 1 week, manual repositioning can be used. For patients with cartilaginous deviated nose, the septal cartilage must be exposed, trimmed or partially removed and then repositioned and fixed.

Anesthesia method

Local infiltration anesthesia.

Preoperative preparation

1. Take a frontal facial photograph before surgery.

2. Shave your beard and trim your nose hair.

Indications

Congenital crooked nose or crooked nose accompanied by nasal deformity, such as hump nose, collapsed nose, deformed nose tip, deformed nose, traumatic crooked nose, etc.

Contraindications

1. Those under 18 years old with incomplete nose development.

2. If there is acute inflammation in the nasal cavity or sinuses, surgery can only be performed after the inflammation subsides for 2 weeks.

3. During the attack period of acute otitis media and acute pharyngitis.

4. Systemic diseases, such as blood diseases, syphilis, diabetes, tuberculosis, etc.

Surgical procedures

1. Correction of septal cartilage deformity

(1) The excess part of the palatal edge of the septal cartilage is removed and the deviated ethmoid plate is corrected with an osteotome. The palatal edge of the septal cartilage is placed into the groove of the ethmoid plate edge and fixed with sutures.

(2) If the septal cartilage is angularly deformed, the convex top can be removed in a wedge shape to straighten the septal cartilage plate.

(3) If the septum is deformed, the mucocartilage can be lifted up on the concave side and the septal cartilage can be cut vertically or horizontally to stretch and straighten the septum.

(4) If the septum is twisted or deformed, most of the septum can be removed, retaining the nasal dorsal margin and columellar margin cartilage to maintain the septal cartilage support function.

(5) Partial shaping of the nasal dorsum cartilage. When the nasal dorsal margin of the septal cartilage is deviated, the septal cartilage is straightened according to the above method and then the cut part of the lateral nasal cartilage on the opposite side of the deviation is folded toward the deviated side. If the septal cartilage cannot be straightened, the septal cartilage is partially incised along the nasal dorsum on the convex side of the septum and then flipped toward the concave side to straighten the nasal dorsum.

2. Correction of septal bone deformity

Chisel off the maxillary spine and bite off part of the ethmoid bone and piriform bone plate to make the nasal passage unobstructed. Reconstruction of the bony framework of the external nasal triangle, refer to camel rhinoplasty.
