Twisted Nose Rhinoplasty

Twisted Nose Rhinoplasty Crooked or Deviated Nose Rhinoplasty What makes it difficult to straighten a Deviated or Twisted Nose? One of the most difficult things to do during a rhinoplasty is to straighten a crooked nose. Several factors make this more challenging. The first factor is that the deviated cartilage and bone has a certain level of memory such that unless this is addressed the nose tends to drift back towards its pre-operative position. Another factor is that especially in congenitally crooked noses the nasal deviation may also occur in the setting of facial asymmetry. What this means is that it can be difficult to find a true midline plane in which to try to place the new nasal position.
