Because I know at least 2 incidents that the surgery was unsuccessful and their nose is still crooked and they have a hump in one side. What I wanna know is why is this difficult to achieve ?Is it because the crooked nasal bones aren't too much mobile or the blame is on the surgeon ? Which procedure would you classify as more difficult, straighten a crooked nose or a typical rhino (aka hump removal and correcting of the open roof) ?

Answer: Crooked nose Correction of a crooked nose is one of the most challenging tasks in rhinoplasty. These deformities can be related to nasal bones, cartilages or both. In either case, a unique set of challenges are involved and it is important to discuss realistic expectations, as perfect symmetry in human body is more of an ideal rather than a reality. The agreed goal in general should be to achieve a solid improvement of asymmetry rather than attaining perfect symmetry.

Answer: Crooked Nose IS a Difficult Procedure Rhinoplasty is frequently quoted as being the most difficult procedure in cosmetic surgery. One challenge that patients and surgeons face is the task of straightening a crooked nose. Usually it is possible to make significant improvement in symmetry and straightness (both inside and out) -- but, making a nose perfectly straight is very difficult. As surgeons, we do have a certain degree of control in the operating room and the goal is always to make the nose look the absolute best (straightest!) as possible. However, what we dont have control over is the healing process. It is possible for a nose that was made near perfectly straight in the operating room, to become slightly crooked before it heals completely. If the nasal bones are surgically broken, they can shift slightly due to swelling or from an accidental bumping of the nose, which can cause it to shift slightly.
