Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A crooked nose, known in medical terms as deviation of the nasal axis, is a condition in which the external structure of the nose or the septum that divides it inside is not aligned straight. It can be present from birth or the result of a blow.
How it affects you: in addition to appearance, it can hinder the passage of air through one or both nostrils, causing congestion or snoring.
When is it worth evaluating? If you notice obstruction breathing through the nose, frequent infections, or discomfort after a trauma, it is worth having it reviewed.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the professional suited to evaluate both the shape of the nose and its respiratory function. If the deviation bothers you or hinders your breathing, it is advisable to schedule a consultation to learn about the options that exist in your case.
