Abstract

Summary: 

The deviated nose derives from underlying skeletal and soft-tissue deformities in the upper, middle, and/or lower third of the nose. Although deviation may stem from several intrinsic and extrinsic elements, the septum is most often the primary contributor. Attempts to straighten the nose without properly addressing the septum invariably result in a persistently deviated nose. The goal of this article is to review the 10 key steps for a reliable, methodical approach to correcting the deviated septum in primary rhinoplasty.
