Addressing a Twisted Nose is a Common Occurrence
for this Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Specialist
Addressing a twisted nose is a daily event for this Beverly Hills rhinoplasty specialist. Twisted noses are very common, particularly in men as a result of athletic injuries. A twisted nose is generally due to a deviation of the nasal septum. A deviated nasal septum is a consequence of an injury which has detached the septum from its normal internal attachments and made it bowed or crooked. Sometimes it is even S-shaped. This twisted look can exist whether or not the nasal bones have been broken. If they have, the twist will be even worse and that requires surgery on the nasal bones.
The major culprit in the twisted nose, including the tip leaning to one side or the nostrils appearing asymmetrical, is that deviated septum. The crookedness corrected by a strictly internal procedure that seeks to reattach the septum to its proper attachments or even remove a bent portion which is causing the crookedness. Sometimes it is difficult to make the nose perfectly straight because the cartilage has a “memory,” but in almost all cases, there is significant improvement in breathing. Typically at the same time, enlarged turbinates are also reduced further improving the airway.
If one wishes to have a cosmetic plastic surgery or rhinoplasty performed, that can be done also. Often, the best strategy is to have all the issues corrected at the same time rather than submit to two separate surgeries.
