What to do if your nose is not straight

Under normal circumstances, a person's nose is straight and generally does not bend. However, some people have a crooked nose, which not only affects physical health, but also has a serious impact on a person's personal image. If the nose is not straight, it needs to be corrected in time. There are many reasons for a crooked nose, some are congenital, some are acquired, but there are many ways to correct it, and you must choose a method that suits you.

What to do if the nose is not straight?

1. Mildly crooked nose can be improved through prosthetic transplantation

If the nose is not severely bent, there is no need to fracture the nose and then correct it. At this time, you can perform autologous cartilage or prosthetic rhinoplasty on the bridge of the nose, and let these rhinoplasty materials improve your bent nose condition. Because rhinoplasty can highlight the sunken area very well, it can be used to correct the crooked nose after performing the surgery.

If your nose is not only crooked but also has a low nose bridge, the doctors at Kunming Huamei will redesign the surgery for you before performing the operation. When correcting the crooked nose, they will also raise the nose bridge, so that the overall effect will be better.

2. Severely crooked noses can be corrected by first breaking the nasal bone or by removing and moving it.

For those with a severely curved nose, where even shaving the nasal bone cannot achieve the desired effect, or when the nose is severely curved, it is necessary to fracture the nasal bone first and then correct the shape. When the nasal bone and cartilage are severely curved to one side, a scalpel or osteotomy can be used to move the protruding part or the concave part outward for correction. After your crooked nose is corrected, consider your nose shape and other issues before deciding whether you need to undergo other rhinoplasty surgeries.

Postoperative care for crooked nose correction

1. Try to avoid getting the surgical area wet within 7 days after surgery;

2. Ensure the surgical site is clean to prevent infection. If there is blood scab or secretion on the wound, wipe it with sterile saline.

3. After the operation, you can apply pressure bandage or ice pack to the local wound, but the pressure should not be too high to avoid damaging the eyes. If bleeding or severe hematoma occurs after the operation, you should go to the hospital for follow-up in time;

4. Rest in a quiet and comfortable environment after surgery. Do not watch TV or read newspapers within 2 weeks after surgery. It is best to rest in bed in a semi-recumbent position (raise the pillow) to avoid excessive eye fatigue or too low a head position, which may aggravate the swelling of the wound.

5. The wound will be a little painful on the day of surgery, but it will gradually ease over time. Patients should not rush to take painkillers because aspirin-like drugs will aggravate wound bleeding;

6. Avoid eating irritating foods such as peppers;

7. Strictly follow the doctor's instructions for medication and follow-up visits
