Rhinoplasty  - How to Straighten a Crooked Nose
The crooked nose itself is usually there's three components if you will to the nose first you have the on the top of the nose is the nasal bones that's what gets fractured the nasal bones become fractured and displaced and we have to reset those in a more straighter and narrower position with osteotomies placed in those nasal bones in the mid portion of the nose that's more of a flexible cartilage called the upper lateral cartilages and when you have a crooked nose usually one side is concave and the other one is convex so we'll have to add a spreader graft underneath the concave upper lateral cartilage to straighten the mid portion if the nasal tip cartilages are crooked and asymmetric then sometimes what we'll do is we'll take if one side's a little higher we'll take a little cartilage off of one side and add that cartilage to the lower side to balance out the nasal tip cartilages themselves.
