Nasal Deformities
The nose is a central structure of the face. Deformities can be cosmetic, affecting appearance, or functional, resulting in nasal blockage, snoring, or sinus issues. Addressing these deformities can significantly improve both quality of life and facial harmony.
Deformities may occur due to a crooked septum, asymmetric nasal bones, or structural collapse. These issues often overlap, causing both aesthetic and breathing problems. Common causes include congenital factors and specific medical conditions.
Common Causes
Congenital Deformities: Conditions present at birth, such as cleft lip or palate, may lead to structural weakness. These often require staged surgeries to achieve optimal results.
Medical Conditions: Systemic conditions like Sarcoidosis or connective tissue disorders can cause structural changes to the nose, affecting both its appearance and function.
