Correcting a crooked nasal cartilaginous bridge

Anytime the nose is crooked there is a long side and a short side associated with the nasal bones and cartilages.

Fixing Crooked Nose at the Bridge

Hi veronica sawyer in Wallingford, CT, Rhinoplasty is not one operation, but many potential operations. Every patient is unique.

Crooked Nasal Correction

Typically, crooked cartilage in the nose relates to a deviated septum. This may be a traumatic or developmental occurrance, likely the latter. Extended septoplasty techniques, with or without limited grafting and/or nasal bone correction is typically required to correct this problem. Make sure to see a Septorhinoplasty specialist who has extensive experience with both Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty procedures for this problem. All the best

See an experienced rhinoplastic surgeon -- you will probably need both your septum and external nose straighted. It is not easy but can be accomplished.
