Crooked Nose Correction in Gangnam, Seoul
straight from the inside out.
Crooked nose correction straightens a nose that leans or curves to one side, whether from birth, growth or an old injury. At ONYX in Gangnam, Seoul, Dr. Yoo corrects the bone, the septum and the cartilage together, because straightening only the outside rarely lasts.

What is crooked nose correction?
Crooked nose correction is rhinoplasty that moves a deviated nose back to the midline of the face. Depending on the cause, it combines repositioning the nasal bones, straightening the septum and reinforcing the bridge with cartilage grafts.
A crooked nose is often linked to a deviated septum, so many patients also breathe better afterwards. The deeper the deviation, the more structural work is needed to stop it drifting back.
| Surgery time | About 2–3 hours |
|---|---|
| Anaesthesia | General anaesthesia |
| Approach | Usually open |
| Splint & stitches | Removed after about 7 days |
| Stay in Seoul | About 7–10 days |
| Final result | 6–12 months |
Signs you may benefit
- Your nose leans or curves visibly to one side
- Your nose was injured or broken in the past
- One side of the bridge looks different from the other
- You also have one-sided nasal blockage
- A previous rhinoplasty left the nose off-centre
Perfect symmetry is not always possible because faces themselves are asymmetrical, but most deviations can be greatly improved.
How a crooked nose is corrected
- STEP 01
Find the cause
3D CT shows whether the bone, septum or cartilage is deviated, or all three.
- STEP 02
Straighten the septum
The bent part of the septum is corrected or replaced with straight cartilage.
- STEP 03
Reposition the bones
Nasal bones are moved back to the midline with controlled osteotomies.
- STEP 04
Reinforce
Spreader grafts or cartilage support keep the bridge straight as it heals.
Crooked nose correction recovery
Typical timeline only. Healing varies with the procedure, skin thickness and materials used.
- Day 1–3 Swelling and bruising around the eyes; breathing through the nose is limited.
- Day 7 Splint and stitches removed.
- Week 2–3 Bruising fades; breathing steadily improves.
- Month 1–3 Avoid any impact to the nose.
- Month 6–12 The final straightness and line settle.
Crooked Nose Correction in Seoul: your questions answered.
Will my breathing improve as well?
If the septum is deviated, straightening it usually improves airflow on the blocked side.
Can a crooked nose bend again after surgery?
Cartilage has memory, so ONYX reinforces the straightened structure with grafts to reduce the chance of drift.
Is the nose broken during surgery?
In many cases the nasal bones are carefully repositioned with controlled osteotomies under anaesthesia.
How long should I stay in Seoul?
About 7–10 days so the splint can be removed and healing checked before flying.
Can you fix a nose that was crooked after another rhinoplasty?
Yes, this is a form of revision rhinoplasty and is usually planned with your own septal, ear or rib cartilage.
