As an otolaryngologist with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, Op. Dr. Mehmet Durmuşoğlu performs crooked nose surgery to restore both the functional and aesthetic harmony of the nose. This corrective procedure addresses deviations in the nasal bone or cartilage that can impair breathing and cause asymmetry, providing patients with a more balanced facial appearance and improved airway function.
Since 2019, Dr. Durmuşoğlu has been welcoming domestic and international patients in his private clinic in İzmir, where he combines modern technologies with his surgical expertise to achieve natural and lasting results.
What Is Crooked Nose Surgery?
Crooked nose surgery is performed to correct deformities caused by trauma, congenital structure, or previous surgical interventions. The operation not only straightens the nasal structure but also restores nasal breathing, ensuring both cosmetic refinement and functional improvement.
Benefits include:
- Improved nasal symmetry and aesthetic balance
- Restoration of healthy breathing function
- Long-term, natural-looking results
Diagnosis and Timing of Surgery
Contrary to common belief, diagnosis does not rely solely on X-rays. A detailed physical examination by the surgeon is the gold standard. Dr. Durmuşoğlu carefully evaluates both the internal and external structures of the nose, asking three main questions:
- Has the fracture caused visible deformity?
- Is breathing function impaired?
- Is there a complication requiring urgent intervention?
In cases of nasal trauma, correct timing is critical.
- Adults: Ideal intervention is between 7–14 days after trauma.
- Children: Between 3–7 days, as bones heal faster.
If this period is missed, bones may heal incorrectly, requiring a more advanced operation such as septorhinoplasty, typically planned 6 months after the trauma.
Surgical Techniques
Depending on the severity of the deformity, different approaches can be applied:
- Closed Reduction: For simple fractures without external incisions. Bones are realigned under anesthesia and supported with splints.
- Open Reduction: Direct surgical access for complex fractures, ensuring precise bone and cartilage repair.
- Septoplasty: Correction of the nasal septum when deviation causes functional problems.
- Septorhinoplasty: Comprehensive surgery for long-standing or severe deformities, addressing both functional and aesthetic concerns.
Dr. Durmuşoğlu frequently uses Ultrasonic (Piezo) Rhinoplasty techniques for precise bone reshaping, minimizing tissue trauma and accelerating recovery.
Recovery Process
Recovery involves moderate swelling and bruising, which subside within weeks. Final stabilization of the nasal structure takes several months. Patients are guided with personalized postoperative care to ensure smooth healing and optimal results.
