Published: January 2025

The saddle nose deformity is associated with dorsal collapse and can have both function and cosmetic problems. The saddle nose can cause nasal obstruction by narrowing the nasal cavities, eliciting dynamic internal and external nasal valve narrowing, and abnormally widening the internal and external nasal valves altering airflow dynamics, sinonasal passageways, and olfaction. The saddle nose is challenging to treat due to skin contracture, lack of donor tissue, and difficulties in esthetic integration. A focus on balancing the functional and esthetic concerns during treatment is paramount.
