What is the difference between a crooked nose and a crooked nose, and what causes the crooked nose to appear?

Before examining the important points related to nose surgery, it is better to know that deviation and crooked nose are different from each other. When a person has a deviated nose, this deviation occurs in the septum, which is the middle blade between the two lobes of the nose, and this will cause difficulty in breathing. Deviation of the nose usually does not affect the appearance of the nose. But on the contrary, the crooked nose has a great effect on the appearance and in most cases, the person's breathing will not be disturbed.

Straightening a crooked nose is one of the most challenging surgeries. Because the cartilage and bone of the nose may return to their previous place after the operation. Also, in some cases, the crookedness of the nose may be observed in the structure of the face, and in fact, due to the asymmetry of the face, the nose is not in its right place. In these cases, it will be a bit difficult to find the center line of the face.

Various reasons may lead to crooked nose. One of the most basic reasons that lead to a crooked nose is a blow to the nose and its fracture. Nasal curvature may also appear congenitally. In some cases, improper nose surgery can also lead to a crooked nose.

What are the side effects of not having a crooked nose surgery?

Referring to an experienced doctor for surgery and correcting a crooked nose has many benefits, such as creating symmetry in the face, improving breathing in case of deviated nasal septum, and increasing self-confidence. If you do not correct this problem, you will face complications that include the following:

Difficult breathing and snoring in sleep
Sinusitis
breathing problems

Nutrition after nose job

Get to know how to straighten and correct crooked nose with rhinoplasty

The doctor considers the main structures of this organ, i.e. bone, cartilage and septum (middle blade of the nose) to straighten and operate the crooked nose. In some cases, the nose is flattened by adding or subtracting bone and cartilage. In some cases, the doctor may move the septum completely. These changes completely depend on the type and degree of nasal curvature.

Sometimes the doctor performs all these measures to correct the crooked nose. In cases where there is a need to add a little bone or cartilage to the nose, this bone or cartilage may be taken from other parts of the body, for example, from the nose itself or from the cartilage of the ear, at the discretion of the doctor. If more and stronger cartilage is needed, the doctor may use rib cartilage to correct and repair the nose.

In some patients who have a crooked nose due to a fracture caused by an impact, it is only necessary to correct it by changing the position of the broken bone in the nose. Actually, the doctor straightens the nose by moving the broken bone.

How long is the recovery period after nose surgery?

The healing and recovery period after nose surgery may be shorter or longer in different people due to a stronger or weaker immune system. But usually after 8 days the swelling and severe bruising will improve. During this period, the patient should take care of the post-operative care in consultation with the doctor so that the healing process can be done faster.

About a week after crooked nose surgery, the plaster and stitches are removed by the doctor and a special adhesive is placed on the nose. About two weeks after surgery, it is possible to start daily activities and return to work. After several months, up to 30% of nasal swelling will decrease. But it takes about a year for the nose to completely heal and the swellings to disappear.

Measures and necessary care after surgery and crooked nose correction

In order to speed up the healing process, it is better to follow the necessary measures and recommendations after the surgery completely and accurately. These actions include the following:

How to sleep

One of the important points that you should pay attention to after nose surgery is how to sleep. During the rhinoplasty recovery period, be sure to sleep on your back and avoid sleeping on your stomach and side, which causes pressure in the surgical area. The best sleeping position after nose surgery is in an open arch or on the back. Because in this case, the blood circulates better in the head and nose area.

Nutrition type

During the recovery period after crooked nose surgery, you should pay a lot of attention to your nutrition. Because the type of nutrition has a significant effect on shortening or increasing the recovery period. In the first days after the operation, be sure to use soft foods and avoid eating hard foods. It is also better to use fibrous and anti-inflammatory foods such as vegetables, seafood, mushrooms, etc. to speed up the healing process. Avoid eating spicy, very cold and hot foods.

How to clean the nose

Cleaning the nose correctly after surgery is also very important. Cleaning the nose during the recovery period reduces inflammation, dryness and destroys bacteria in the nasal passages. To clean the nose, it is better to use disinfectants and ear cleaners. Be sure to consult your doctor about how to wash your nose before surgery.
