Deviated Nose Surgery
A surgery that assesses each person's unique face shape and creates the ideal line, using materials and methods chosen for the height, angle, and width that suit their proportions
Deviated Nose
A deviated nose is one in which the line from between the brows to the tip is not straight: the upper and lower parts of the nasal dorsum curve in opposite directions (S-shaped), or the nose curves to one side only (C-shaped). It not only makes the face look crooked but is also highly likely to be accompanied by a deviated septum.
Deviated nose surgery should not simply straighten the outward appearance; it should also address functional problems such as nasal congestion and sleep disturbance at the same time.
Surgery Information
Surgery Information-
Surgery time About 2 hours -
Anesthesia Sedation -
Hospitalization Not required -
Stitch removal After 5–7 days -
Follow-up visits 2–3 visits -
Recovery period After 5–7 days
May vary depending on the patient's condition and the surgical method.
Surgical Method
Depending on the degree of deviation, the protruding part alone can be shaved down without osteotomy, or septoplasty can be performed to remove part of the deviated septal cartilage and straighten the curve.
When the deviation is mild
In less severe cases, the nose can be corrected relatively simply by shaving down only the protruding part without osteotomy and, for depressed areas, by augmentation with cartilage grafts, dermal fat grafts, or an implant.

Nose Surgery Materials
Before surgery, the patient's skin condition and anatomical structure are accurately assessed, and the surgery is performed with materials suited to the individual.
Rather than simply raising or lengthening the nose, we create the ideal nose line based on a one-on-one consultation and accurate diagnosis, considering individual features such as the length of the face and the angle between the columella and the philtrum.

Deviated Nose Surgery Q&A
-
Can deviated nose surgery also improve nasal function?Yes. Deviated nose surgery not only corrects the appearance but can also help improve breathing if you have a deviated septum (a curved internal structure of the nose). A deviated nose can worsen congestion on one side or aggravate rhinitis symptoms, and you can expect congestion to ease as the septum is straightened. However, not every patient experiences functional improvement, so an accurate diagnosis before surgery is necessary.
-
Is there a chance the nose will become crooked again over time after surgery?A deviated nose is caused by deformation of the bone and cartilage, so some change can occur after surgery as the tissue heals over time. In particular, when the skin is highly elastic or the cartilage has strong memory, there can be a tendency to return to the original shape. To prevent this, surgical techniques that firmly secure the cartilage and reinforce the support can be applied. It is also important to avoid pressing hard on the nose or subjecting it to impact during recovery.
-
Can deviated nose surgery also improve facial asymmetry?When a deviated nose sits off the centerline of the face, straightening it can be expected to improve the overall balance of the face. However, if the face itself is asymmetric, nose surgery alone may not achieve perfect symmetry.
