Deviated noses may be harder to correct than first thought

More than half of the people with deviated noses that the researchers examined had facial asymmetry, compared to about a third of people without deviated noses. “Many patients who think they have deviated noses actually have combined facial asymmetry,” said Dr. Yong Ju Jang, who is the study’s senior author from the University of Ulsan College of Medicine in Seoul. Jang and his colleague Dr. Jong Sook Yi write May 7 in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery that rhinoplasty has become one of the most common facial plastic surgeries. In their practice, the researchers say many people with deviated noses don’t realize they have facial asymmetry.
