Deviated Nose Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Does your nose appear crooked, off-center, or uneven when viewed from the front or side? A deviated nose—whether caused by genetics, trauma, or developmental factors—not only affects appearance but can also lead to breathing difficulties. Deviated nose surgery, often involving both cosmetic and functional correction, is a specialized procedure designed to straighten the nasal bridge, align the septum, and restore facial symmetry.

In Korea, where cosmetic and reconstructive nasal surgery is performed with world-class precision, deviated nose correction is one of the most effective ways to achieve both aesthetic improvement and improved nasal function. At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, our expert surgeons specialize in combining form and function to give patients a nose that looks and feels better.

Why Choose Deviated Nose Surgery?

This procedure is ideal for patients who:

• Have a visibly crooked or asymmetrical nose
• Experience nasal obstruction or difficulty breathing
• Suffer from a deviated septum following trauma or injury
• Seek to correct facial imbalance and restore harmony
• Want to improve both the appearance and function of their nose

Whether your concerns are cosmetic, medical, or both, deviated nose surgery in Korea offers a comprehensive solution that addresses the root causes—not just the symptoms.

Customized Surgical Approach at Light Clinic

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we recognize that each case of nasal deviation is unique. Our surgeons carefully assess the type and degree of deviation before creating a personalized surgical plan tailored to your nasal structure and goals.

Common Surgical Techniques Include:

• Septoplasty: Corrects a deviated septum by reshaping or repositioning the internal nasal wall, improving airflow and breathing.
• Osteotomy (Nasal Bone Realignment): Carefully fractures and repositions the nasal bones to straighten the external appearance.
• Cartilage Grafting: Reinforces weak or collapsed areas with cartilage taken from the septum, ear, or rib.
• Open or Closed Rhinoplasty: Depending on the complexity, the surgery may use an open approach (with a small incision at the columella) or a closed approach (incisions inside the nostrils).
• Tip or Alar Adjustments (if needed): Fine-tuning of the nasal tip or nostrils for symmetry and improved shape.

We focus on achieving a natural-looking, symmetrical result while restoring proper nasal function.

Consultation and Planning

The first step toward a straighter, more functional nose is a detailed consultation at our Seoul clinic. We take the time to understand both your aesthetic preferences and any breathing concerns.

During your consultation, we will:

• Analyze facial symmetry and nasal alignment from multiple angles
• Assess internal structure with possible imaging or endoscopy
• Identify breathing issues caused by septal or cartilage deviation
• Explain all surgical options and approaches suited to your case
• Show before-and-after results from similar patients

You’ll leave the consultation with a clear plan and full understanding of what to expect before, during, and after surgery.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Deviated nose surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and lasts 2 to 3 hours, depending on complexity. It is usually an outpatient procedure, meaning patients can return home the same day.

Surgical Steps:

1. Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort.
2. Incision: Made either inside the nostrils or across the columella, depending on the chosen approach.
3. Correction: The septum, cartilage, and/or bones are realigned and stabilized with sutures or grafts.
4. Closure and Support: The nose is closed and supported with an internal splint and external dressing to maintain shape and support healing.

In some cases, deviated nose correction is combined with full rhinoplasty for enhanced cosmetic results.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from deviated nose surgery involves several weeks of healing, though discomfort is usually minimal and well-managed.

Recovery Timeline:

• Days 1–7: Swelling, congestion, and minor bruising are normal; nasal splints and/or external bandages remain in place.
• Day 7: Splints and stitches (if external) are typically removed.
• Weeks 2–4: Major swelling subsides; breathing improves; return to light activities.
• 3+ Months: Final results continue to refine as residual swelling disappears and tissues settle.

We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions, and you’ll have regular follow-ups to monitor your progress.
