Rhinoplasty SPECIFIC COSMETIC REQUESTS - The Broken Nose
VI.C. The Broken Nose After a nasal fracture, a patient's nose may be twisted to one side or the other. Also, the patient may have a new "bump"—this is called a "saddle nose" or "boxer's nose" deformity. A "before" and "after" example is shown in Figure 29.

The Twisted Nose The twisted nose is one of the more technically challenging problems in rhinoplasty, requiring an experienced and skillful rhinoplasty surgeon. In the hands of an experienced and skillful surgeon, significant improvement is usually possible (Fig. 30). Sometimes the nose can be made completely straight; however, the patient should expect some deviation to persist.
