Twisted nose correction

Twisted nose correction is a challenging issue in rhinoplasty. Causes are diverse including trauma, congenital, and previous surgery. Not only twisted nose draws people's attention to the nose, but also it causes nasal obstruction.

Treatment starts with complete analysis. External nasal bone and cartilage, skin, and septum/turbinate inside the nose need to be examined. Anatomical analysis of the deviated nose is the basis for successful correction.

Surgery includes septum correction, osteotomy for bone correction, various cartilage grafts for upper septum correction, and camouflage graft for final touch. Final results need complete straightening of the septum, realignment of the nasal cartilage and bone, and turbinate reduction for good breathing.

Surgery takes about 2 hours and need 6 hours of admission. The patient can go home in the late afternoon when the surgery starts early in the morning. The swelling of the face lasts 2-3 days and after 1 week, all the casts and stiches will be removed.

Deviated & hump nose correction

This lady in below photos had nasal deviation, hump nose, and tip ptosis with breathing difficulty. Septum was corrected first, and this made the lower 2/3 of the nose straight. Hump was not resected but rasped with Piezotome and this did not breach the keystone area, which made spreader grafts unnecessary.Bilateral osteotomies with Piezotome made her bone straight. Together with septum correction and effective osteotomies, her nose became straight from the frontal view. Tip was modified with sutures and onlay graft only. No strut or septal extension graft was used and this made the tip soft even after considerable amount of rotation and projection increase. Radix was augmented with bruised cartilage. Overall, she could breath much better after surgery and her nose became more harmonious and feminine.

Creating more feminine nose

The lady in below photos visited my clinic for rhinoplasty. She wanted to have more feminine nose instead of her muscline nose. She had a long nose with slight bump on the dorsum, overprojected, slightly bulbous and droopy tip, and slighly wide dorsum. Surgery was focused on creating more feminine look: hump removal, narrowing the bony dorsum with osteotomies, tip volume reduction, decreasing tip projection, and slight cephalic rotation. Photos taken 2 weeks after surgery (because she returnd back to her country after surgery) shows changes on the dorsum and the tip. Dorsum became slender with creation of smooth brow-tip aesthetic line. Tip was refined with volume reduction, slight underprojection, and cephalic rotation. Although the changes are not radical, her nose looks more feminine.
