What’s called a misshapen nose may refer to a variety of concerns with size and shape. You may be unhappy with the appearance of a hooked nose, a crooked nose, a flat bridge, a wide bridge, a large nose, or an upturned nose. It might be a bump on the nose (called a dorsal hump) that you don’t like. As your nose is a central feature on your face, if you’re dissatisfied with it, it may make you self-conscious.
Common Causes
Sometimes a nose is misshapen because it’s been broken through an accident or injury. If you’ve had an injury, it can damage the bone, which may heal in an incorrect position but moreover, the cartilage in your nose may be damaged and this heals through scar tissue formation. This scar tissue, made up of collagen, doesn’t repair evenly, which can lead to unwanted lumps and bumps.
It may be simple genetics that have given you the nose you have, since you tend to inherit characteristics from both parents.
It’s also possible you may have breathing issues, related to your nasal passages, rather than an issue with your nose’s aesthetic appearance.
What can I do about my misshapen nose?
If you’re unhappy with the shape of your nose, you may consider a nose job; rhinoplasty as it’s called. A rhinoplasty can alter the shape and structure of your nose to improve aesthetic appearance and/or function.
Performed by skilled plastic surgeons, it can alter the size, shape, or proportions of the nose, addressing issues from aesthetic concerns to breathing difficulties. As a highly individualised surgical procedure, a rhinoplasty can be tailored to meet your specific needs and goals.
