Summary
Surgical correction of a deviated nose has an 80.2% success rate, but outcomes vary significantly by deviation type. Revision rhinoplasty is needed in 6.5% of cases due to dissatisfaction.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Otolaryngology
- Facial Plastic Surgery
Background:
- Deviated nose correction, or rhinoplasty, is a common procedure.
- Understanding factors influencing surgical success is crucial for patient outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the success rate of deviated nose correction.
- To analyze treatment outcomes based on specific deviation types.
- To assess the revision rate after rhinoplasty for deviated noses.
Main Methods:
- A case series study reviewed 631 patients undergoing rhinoplasty for deviated noses.
- A minimum follow-up of 18 months was required.
- Surgical outcomes were categorized (excellent, good, fair, no change), and deviations were classified into five types.
Main Results:
- Overall, 80.2% of patients achieved successful outcomes (excellent or good).
- Unsuccessful outcomes varied significantly by deviation type (P < .001), with Type V having the highest rate (41.7%).
- Revision rhinoplasty was required in 6.5% of cases due to patient dissatisfaction.
Conclusions:
- Unsatisfactory surgical outcomes are a notable risk in deviated nose correction.
- The specific type of nasal deviation is a significant predictor of surgical success.

01:21Deformations in a Transverse Cross Section
When a material is subjected to uniaxial stress, it elongates or contracts in the direction of the applied force, and also undergoes changes in the perpendicular directions. This behavior is crucial for understanding how materials behave under stress and is governed by mechanical properties such as Poisson's ratio v, which measures the ratio of transverse strain to axial strain.
As the material stretches, it expands or contracts in orthogonal directions to the load. This phenomenon varies...

01:24Nose and Nasal Cavity
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...
01:18Deformations in a Symmetric Member in Bending
When analyzing the deformation of a symmetric prismatic member subjected to bending by equal and opposite couples, it becomes clear that as the member bends, the originally straight lines on its wider faces curve into circular arcs, with a constant radius centered at a point known as Point C. This phenomenon helps to understand the stress and strain distribution within the member more clearly.
When the member is segmented into tiny cubic elements, it is observed that the primary stress...
