Treatment of the Crooked Nose.

The crooked nose is a challenging esthetic and functional problem. The surgeon must carefully evaluate baseline facial asymmetry as well as whether deviation stems from the upper third, middle third, or lower third of the nose. Surgical intervention should be tailored accordingly, with techniques geared toward addressing each deviated section. Modified dorsal preservation techniques represent a newer means to address deviations. Operative results must be measured, ideally through patient-reported outcomes measures, to quantify overall success.
