Six types of nasal deformity correction plan
Give a direct answer first
Common nasal malformations can be classified into six categories:Hump nose, saddle nose, crooked nose, aquiline nose, garlic nose, upturned noseThe corrective core is not "raised", butReconstruction of the scaffold structure of nasal bone and cartilage according to the cause (bone/cartilage/soft tissue/mixed): The hump hook should be "subtracted + smooth", the saddle nose should be "structural support reconstruction", the crooked nose should be "osteotomy + septum correction", the garlic should be "cartilage suture + soft tissue thinning", and the upward nose should be "extended nasal septum". Most of them need to be completed within the comprehensive framework of the nose, and autologous cartilage is often required for medium and severe cases. For a specific category, click on the corresponding special page below to be the most practical.
First, six types of nasal deformities quick check table
| type | Main performance | common causes | Corrective core | difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| hump nose | Middle dorsal nasal bulge with "peak" on the side | Bone/cartilage hyperplasia | Hump removal + osteotomy to smooth the back of the nose | middle |
| saddle nose | The bridge of the nose collapses like a saddle, the tip of the nose is upturned | Injuries, infections, stunting. | Structural support reconstruction (often requiring costal cartilage) | higher |
| crooked nose | The bridge/tip of the nose deviates from the midline | Trauma, nasal septum deviation, development | Osteotomy reduction + nasal septum correction | higher |
| hooked nose | Droopy nose, hook curvature, dorsal bulge | Too long cartilage, weak nose tip support | Trim excess cartilage + lift nose tip | middle |
| Garlic nose | Rounded nose, broad alae | Weak cartilage and thick soft tissue | Nasal tip cartilage suture + soft tissue thinning | middle |
| upturned nose | Exposed nostrils, upturned tip, short nose | Short septum, traumatic contracture | Extend nasal septum, supine nose tip | higher |
II. Understanding the corrective logic by cause
The biggest difference between nasal deformity correction and ordinary rhinoplasty is that it requiresDetermine which level the problem is atThen decide what materials to use and what operations to perform.
- Bone problems(Such as hump, partial crooked nose): often requiredOsteotomyAdjust the bony dorsum and cone width.
- cartilaginous problems(Eg. Eagle hook, upward, partial crooked nose): The nasal septum and alar cartilage need to be trimmed or reconstructed to redistribute the nose tip support and orientation.
- Soft tissue problems(Such as garlic nose and thick skin): Soft tissue thinning and cartilage shaping are required.
- Lack of support(Such as saddle nose, contractures): requiredAutologous cartilage (nasal septum/ear/ribs)Do structural reconstruction.
Due to this, almost all moderate to severe nasal deformities occurnasal synthesisCompleted within the framework, see in-app for material selection logicHow to choose rhinoplasty materialsWhether it is necessary to do a nasal synthesis can be referred toComprehensive or simple rhinoplasty?Those who have had surgery failure or contractures belong to the category of repair, seeRhinoplasty Failure Repair Guide。
III. Recovery, costs, and doctor selection
The correction of nasal deformity is generally greater and longer than the trauma of simple rhinoplasty, especially those involving osteotomy or rib removal. The recovery rhythm can be comparedRhinoplasty recovery scheduleThe cost varies with the degree of deformity, the complexity of the operation, and the source of cartilageHow much is a rhinoplasty?Due to the high experience requirements for structural reconstruction, the choiceA doctor who is familiar with nasal anatomy and specializes in structural nasal integrationIt is particularly important to see the doctor's backgroundIntroduction of Dr. Tang Yuxiang。

IV. FAQ
Q 1: Can nasal deformity be corrected at one time?
A: Most single deformities can be improved by one operation, but those involving severe contractures, multiple repairs, and compound deformities may need to be staged. The specifics are subject to face-to-face evaluation, and it is not advisable to blindly pursue "one-time delivery".
Q 2: Is costal cartilage necessary for the correction of nasal deformity?
A: Not necessarily. Septum and ear cartilage can be used for mild to moderate; saddle nose, severe support loss or repair cases rely more on costal cartilage. What to use is determined by the nasal foundation and the amount of defect.
Q 3: Are a hump nose and an aquiline nose the same thing?
A: No. The hump nose is mainly a mid-dorsal bulge; the aquiline nose is a drooping hook curve at the tip of the nose often accompanied by a dorsal bulge. The causes and procedures of the two are different, see their respective topics for details.
Q 4: Does the correction of nasal deformity look fake?
A: Standardized structural correction pursues natural coordination rather than exaggerated elevation. Whether it is natural depends on the design and doctor's experience, regardless of "how tall the pad is".
Q 5: Can the crooked nose caused by trauma be corrected?
A: Yes. Traumatic crooked nose is often combined with deviated nasal septum, requiring osteotomy reduction and correction of nasal septum, taking into account appearance and ventilation. See the topic of crooked nose for details.
Q 6: How much is the nose deformity correction?
A: There is no uniform price. It depends on the type of deformity, the complexity of the operation, the source of cartilage and the level of the doctor's institution. It is recommended to quote according to the plan after the face-to-face consultation. See the in-app price topic for the composition.
