The patient shown here (Figure 1) has a crooked nose deformity with the upper
(bony) part pointing to his right, then the middle part bending back to his
left, and the tip ending up a little to his right (Figure 2). He also had
pinching in the middle part of his nose, making it difficult to breathe.
In his surgery, the bony part of his nose was brought to the midline, then
the middle part was corrected by strengthening the area and making is slightly
wider. The tip was then placed in the midline. His breathing was significantly
improved, and his post-op photos are shown here (Figure 3).

Example 2- Hump
This patient presented with a slight hump on her nose (Figure 4). In her surgery,
the hump was reduced and her tip was rotated up, with improved definition added
to her tip (Figure 5).

Example 3- Broken Nose
This patient sustained a trauma to the left part of his nose, pushing it to his
right (Figure 6). He also had difficulty breathing due to the deformity of his
septum following this injury. In his surgery, the nose was brought to the midline,
the septum was straightened, and the structure of the nose was reinforced for
improved breathing (Figure 7).

Example 4- Broken Nose with a Hump
This patient broke his nose, creating a deviation of the upper third and a very
subtle hump (Figure 8 and 9). In his surgery the deviation was corrected,
and the hump was smoothed out for a natural appearance (Figure 10 and 11).
