Deformities of Nose Deformities of the nose refer to a range of irregularities in the structure, shape, or size of the nose, which can arise from congenital factors, trauma, disease, or previous surgical interventions.
These deformities can be aesthetic, affecting the appearance and symmetry of the nose, or functional, impairing breathing and nasal function. Common types include deviated septum, saddle nose (a depression along the nasal bridge), and nasal valve collapse.
