The method of nasal bone correction needs to be determined according to specific circumstances. Common situations and their corresponding corrective measures are as follows:

  1. Traumatic Deviated Nose: If nasal bone deviation occurs within two weeks after nasal trauma, manual reduction can be performed, along with internal and external splinting for fixation. Generally, this approach achieves good corrective results.
  2. Developmental Defects or Congenital Deformities: These conditions typically require surgical remodeling of the bony and soft tissues to reshape and reposition the nasal bridge for improved symmetry and aesthetics.
  3. Failed Rhinoplasty: If nasal bone deviation results from a previous failed cosmetic surgery, it is recommended to undergo revision surgery performed by an experienced surgeon.

All surgical procedures carry certain risks and potential complications, such as infection, bleeding, or unsatisfactory appearance. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose an experienced plastic surgeon and a reputable medical facility. Additionally, patients themselves should thoroughly understand the surgical procedure, the expected outcomes, and the potential risks involved. Adequate psychological preparation is essential to approach both the surgery and postoperative recovery with a positive mindset.
