Objectives: The aim of this study was to report the authors' surgical results, and to present their method of angle measurement using the Scion Image computer program to evaluate surgical results for crooked noses.
Methods: The study included 27 patients with crooked noses: classified as C-type and 14 classified as I-type. Deviation angles were measured by using the Scion Image computer program on frontal views before and at least 3 months after the operation. Correction of the crooked nose was performed through an open approach with the patients under general anesthesia.
Results: Significant correction was achieved for both types of crooked noses (p <0.05). The results for the I-type crooked noses were closer to the ideal angles than those for the C-type, but the difference was not significant. The findings showed that 66.7% of the patients with crooked noses, had good or excellent results after surgery: 53.8% of those with the C-Type and 78.6% of those with the I-type.
Conclusion: It is difficult to achieve satisfactory results in the correction of crooked noses. The angle measurement method using the Scion Image computer program may be helpful in evaluating the effectiveness of different surgical techniques.

Background: Nose deviation deformities pose a complex cosmetic and functional problem. The most common surgical intervention to manage such deformities is septorhinoplasty, typically performed by a plastic surgeon or a rhinologist. This study investigated the effect of a combined operation by a plastic surgeon and rhinologist, comparing them with those operations performed singlehandedly by a plastic surgeon.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on analyzing the outcomes of aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty for Middle Eastern patients with crooked noses, using the Standardized Cosmesis Health Nasal Outcomes Survey (SCHNOS).
- It involved a longitudinal cohort study of 41 patients, analyzing their preoperative satisfaction and postoperative results, revealing significant improvements in nasal obstruction and cosmetic scores after surgery.
- The findings suggest that understanding the three-dimensional nasal pathology is crucial for achieving better outcomes, and using validated questionnaires like SCHNOS can help refine surgical techniques.

Rhinoplasty is undergoing a transformation with the reemergence of dorsal preservation rhinoplasty (DPR) techniques. This article introduces a novel addition to the DPR repertoire, "bony dorsal preservation" (BDP), which has particular application for the correction of crooked noses.This comprehensive overview summarizes current DPR concepts and techniques, the intricate considerations that go into the dorsal osseocartilaginous vault and septal management, and how these are modified to treat the crooked nose.

Article Synopsis
- The article discusses the complexities of performing rhinoplasty on patients with an asymmetric or crooked nose, which can be difficult even for skilled surgeons.
- It defines a crooked nose as one that has deviations in its shape and alignment with the center of the face.
- The senior author shares their methods for addressing these challenges using structural and preservation techniques to effectively correct the issues.
Straightening Crooked Nose with Precise Bone Refining.

Crooked noses pose significant challenges in rhinoplasty due to their complex anatomy, particularly in the bony vault. Traditional methods focus on osteotomies but often do not equalize the lengths of the nasal bones. This study introduces a novel technique using otologic drills to address this problem by shortening the longer nasal bone and aligning the nasion-rhinion line at the midline.
