Hello~

​

💛your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💛

The vertical wall located in the center of the nose is called the nasal septum.

A deviated septum refers to a condition where this septum is bent.

Those with a deviated septum often experience issues such as nasal congestion, headaches, and difficulty breathing.

​

A crooked nose can occur due to two main reasons: congenital factors or trauma.

In many cases, both the bone and cartilage are bent together.

​

Both a deviated septum and a crooked nose share the common trait of being bent.

Today, we will explore whether a crooked nose and a deviated septum are related.

​

​

Do a crooked nose and a deviated septum always occur together?

We need to understand the nose and the septum from a three-dimensional perspective.

Usually, when we talk about a deviated septum, we mean that the middle part of the septum is bent, narrowing the nasal cavity.

However, when we talk about a crooked nose, we are referring to the externally visible part,

so a crooked nose and a deviated septum do not necessarily have a direct correlation.

​

The externally visible part consists of the nasal bone, the septum, and the alar cartilage.

A nose may appear crooked because the nasal bone is bent, or because the dorsal part of the septum is bent.

​

It is not uncommon to see cases where the dorsal part of the septum is bent, but the middle part of the septum is straight.

​

Also, there are cases where the alar cartilages are severely asymmetrical, making the nasal tip look twisted.

​

Overall, the nose might appear crooked because the facial axis itself is bent and misaligned.

Therefore, we can conclude that having a crooked nose does not always mean it is accompanied by a deviated septum.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a deviated septum?

A deviated septum refers to a condition where the septum, the vertical wall located in the center of the nose, is bent. This can lead to functional problems such as nasal congestion, headaches, and difficulty breathing if the nasal cavity narrows.

What causes a crooked nose?

A crooked nose is primarily caused by two factors: congenital reasons and trauma. Often, a crooked nose involves both the bone and cartilage being bent, and causes can include a deviated nasal bone or bridge, or asymmetry of the alar cartilage.

If I have a crooked nose, do I automatically have a deviated septum?

No, they are not necessarily always accompanied. A crooked nose is a problem with the externally visible part, while a deviated septum refers to a bend in the central part of the internal septum, so the two conditions do not always have the same correlation.

Can my nose appear crooked even if my septum isn't deviated?

Yes, it is possible. Even if the middle part of the septum is not deviated, it is not uncommon for the tip of the nose to appear twisted due to severe left-right asymmetry of the alar cartilage, or for the nose to appear crooked due to overall facial axis asymmetry.
