The Effect of Facial Asymmetry on Nasal Deviation

ABSTRACT

The impact of facial asymmetry on nasal deviation is an accepted but poorly understood part of plastic surgery and rhinology training. Recently, an increased understanding of the specific structural issues underlying this deformity has led to improved surgical techniques and patient outcomes.

KEYWORDS

Rhinoplasty - septoplasty - nasal deviation - facial asymmetry - surgical technique
