A twisted nose not only affects your appearance, but also your social interactions and employment opportunities as well. If you previously injured your nose, you may have gone to the emergency room for treatment. The doctors might have treated your symptoms, but you were still left with a crooked nose. Sometimes, previous rhinoplasty procedures may not have delivered the results you desired. Twisted nose correction surgery helps straighten your nose to restore confidence in your appearance.

Causes of a Twisted Nose

There are several factors that can cause the appearance of a twisted nose. A twisted nose could include a deviated septum and obstructed nasal valves. Common causes besides an injury and previous surgery can include a tumor or infection. Seek immediate medical attention if you are experiencing nosebleeds, swelling or trouble breathing.

What Does Twisted Nose Correction Surgery Entail?

The methods used during twisted nose correction surgery may vary depending on the correction needed. Bone removal or cartilage grafting can help correct the angle and symmetry of the nose. While this procedure may not straighten your nose completely, it can help bring more balance to your face. Swelling may be experienced for a few weeks following surgery. You may be able to resume full normal activities in approximately two weeks.
