    A crooked nose can be due to congenital causes, or it can be observed due to environmental factors that develop afterwards. If the mother and father have a crooked nose problem, there is a high probability that the baby will be born with this nose structure.

    In addition, a Crooked nose may develop due to a blow to the nose during childhood or later. This situation can also be seen due to the fracture of the nose and improper union of the broken bone.

    People who have had Rhinoplasty surgery before and have been exposed to an external impact during recovery may have a deceptive appearance again in their noses. For this reason, blows to the nose should be avoided as much as possible throughout life.

    Evaluating Candidacy for Crooked Nose Correction

    Among the causes of Rhinoplasty, Crooked nose problem is the first place. Many people apply for Rhinoplasty for nasal curvature. However, not every individual may be suitable for Rhinoplasty surgery.

    Before planning the aesthetic process, the patient conducts a preliminary interview with the doctor. The doctor evaluates the current health situation of the person by asking questions about the person's health history. The intranasal structure, bone and cartilage structure of the nose are examined with special imaging tools. Then, the patient's expectations from the surgery are discussed.

    As a result of the examinations, planning for the surgery can be made if appropriate. Ekol Hospitals takes the patient evaluation process very seriously for a successful surgical procedure. After evaluating whether people have health problems such as hypertension, diabetes or anesthesia allergy, patients are informed about the operation process.

    Surgical Techniques for Straightening a Crooked Nose

    Surgical techniques are the only effective method in correcting a crooked nose. Depending on the patient's condition and wishes, the surgical techniques that the doctor may choose may differ. The surgical procedure used in the correction of the crooked nose is as follows:

    • Septoplasty
    • Open Rhinoplasty
    • Closed Rhinoplasty
    • Revision Rhinoplasty

    In the Septoplasty method, the bone and cartilage tissues in the nose are intervened. It is a frequently preferred method in recent times and is completed within 30 or 45 minutes. Since the incision is made through the nose in this surgery, there is no scar on the nose after the operation. Open nose surgery is preferred because it creates a broader application area. Revision Rhinoplasty is a type of surgery applied to people who have had Rhinoplasty before but still have nasal curvature problems.
