[Patient Diary] Hooked Nose and Deviated Septum Correction (11 Months Later)

This series of blogposts of Patient Diary shows pictures of the recovery progress of a patient who had a hooked nose with deviated septal cartilage. This patient experienced functional difficulty caused by the nose as well as being unhappy with the hooked appearance of the nose. The surgery featured in this post was performed by Dr. Kang Euntaek.

<Before>

 

The hooked appearance on the nose bridge is big enough for anyone to notice. While she was in our clinic for a consultation, she found out that her septal cartilage was deviated, which caused her difficulty breathing.

<11 Months Later> 

 

At 1 year after the surgery, no recurrence, or growth of the nasal bone is seen. One of Dr. Kang's top priorities is prevention of these complications, which cause the patients to go through a revisional surgery that can be costly, and consuming in many ways.
