DI PLASTIC SURGERY
DI CROOKED-NOSE CORRECTION
What is crooked-nose correction?
A nose can look bent or twisted for several reasons. Deviation may follow trauma or postoperative complications, or arise from asymmetry in the nasal skeletal structure. Surgery corrects the nasal bones, cartilage, and septum according to the cause.

THROUGH A DETAILED ASSESSMENT
A considered approach to a balanced
Nasal contour!
Although it may appear simple from the outside, The inside of the nose has a complex structure. DI Plastic Surgery considers the overall harmony and appearance of the face and nose, 3D CT equipment is used for detailed assessment.
Type 01
When the nasal bones are crooked
Protruding bone is removed, and osteotomy aligns the nose with the face's central axis. is performed. When cartilage deviation is also present, the septal cartilage is corrected and nasal-tip cartilage repositioned into proper alignment.

Type 02
Revision of a crooked nose
If an implant was carved and inserted without correcting the underlying deviation, the nose may still appear crooked, prompting consideration of revision surgery. The existing implant is removed, the deviated nasal bones and septum are corrected, and a new implant is placed.
4 months after surgery
Type 03
Combined type Complex deviation After trauma, the nasal bones and cartilage from the bridge to the tip may deviate in different directions, creating an S-shaped contour. For severe deviation, osteotomy is performed on both nasal bones, moving the displaced bones inward while the deviated septum and nasal-tip cartilage complex are aligned to create a straight nasal bridge.

DI Crooked-Nose Correction: Surgical Method
Solution 01
Mild deviation
Tissue grafting fills depressed areas, while protruding areas are reduced to correct the contour. A customized implant may also provide correction.
Solution 02
Severe deviation
Osteotomy on both sides repositions the nasal bones and cartilage correctly. The deviated septum is also repositioned to improve function.

Features of DI autologous-tissue rhinoplasty
01. Ear cartilage
Cartilage from the conchal bowl of the ear can support and refine nasal-tip contours. The incision is placed discreetly, and the remaining ear structure is preserved.
02. Septal cartilage
Firm, plate-like cartilage from the internal nasal septum can support the nasal tip and other structures. A supporting border of septal cartilage is retained.
03. Rib cartilage
Costal cartilage from the anterior chest may be used when other available cartilage is insufficient. It provides material and structural support for the tip, bridge and other applications.
04. Autologous dermis
Dermis is a skin layer, not cartilage. A dermal graft may be used to add coverage or volume when skin is thin or when an implant is not preferred.
Illustrated donor areas are a general guide. The exact site and amount of tissue are selected for each individual.

Rhinoplasty aftercare
Follow your surgical team’s individual instructions. Recovery and follow-up schedules vary.
- 01
Incision care
Keep the surgical area dry and clean until stitches are removed. On the day of removal, wash gently with water; use soap from the following day.
- 02
Nasal discharge
A little bleeding or blood-tinged discharge may occur for 3–4 days. Do not blow your nose; gently wipe away discharge.
- 03
Tape and splint
Tape helps maintain implant position and limit blood pooling. The splint protects against impact. If it comes off, do not reattach it yourself; contact the clinic and protect your nose.
- 04
Cold and warm compresses
Use cold compresses for the first 3 days, then warm compresses from day 4, as instructed by your surgical team.
- 05
Swelling and bruising
Swelling and bruising generally take about 2 weeks to settle. Swelling may temporarily make the nose look uneven, tilted or depressed.
- 06
Glasses
Avoid glasses and sunglasses for at least one month to prevent pressure that could affect the nasal shape.
- 07
Protect your nose
Do not blow your nose forcefully or do activities that strain or put pressure on your nose.
