A crooked nose can be due to curvature of the nasal bones and/or the septal cartilage. Treatment may require a submucous resection (SMR) of the curved component of septal cartilage, and possibly osteotomites of the bones to straighten it. A good nasal exam pre-op will facilitate making the appropriate surgical plan. Sometimes cartilage grafts are used and/or sutures are used to straighten the septal cartilage as well.
