NOSE BONE CURVE

The septum is defined as the wall between bone and cartilage that separates the nostrils and passages from each other. Misalignment of the septum from the midline to one side causes nasal curvature, which we call septum deviation.

The nose is an organ that directly affects our facial features in terms of aesthetics. In addition to its aesthetic appearance, it is very important for your health to fulfill its function in terms of functionality. There are many different causes of bone curvature. As a result of congenital malfusion of the bone or subsequent traumas, curvature of the nasal bone may occur. While the curvature of the nasal bone is not very obvious in some people, it may be very protruding in some people. In people with very protruding nasal bone curvature, this curvature can be removed only by surgical method.
