Overview
What is a Nasal Deformity?
Nasal deformities can result from congenital defects, traumatic injuries, or medical conditions, impacting both appearance and function. These deformities are typically categorized as either cosmetic, affecting the appearance of the nose, or functional, leading to issues such as breathing difficulties, snoring, or problems with the sinuses, taste, and smell.

Treatment Of Nasal Deformity in Santa Monica, Torrance, and Los Angeles
Treatment depends on the nature and severity of the deformity. Surgery may be optional for cosmetic deformities if the patient desires aesthetic improvement. Functional deformities often require surgical intervention to correct physical issues and restore proper nasal function. This can involve skin or tissue grafts, repair of fractures, or opening nasal passageways to improve breathing. Medication may sometimes be prescribed to manage sinus problems or prevent infections. A thorough evaluation by the best nasal deformity surgeon in Los Angeles, Dr. Daneshrad, will determine each patient's most appropriate treatment plan.
FAQs About Nasal Deformities
Can nasal deformities be corrected without surgery?
While mild deformities may be managed with medication for sinus issues, most functional deformities typically require surgery to fully restore nasal function and improve breathing.
What symptoms suggest I might have a nasal deformity?
Common symptoms include a misshapen nose, breathing difficulties, snoring, frequent sinus infections, and nosebleeds. If you experience any of these, a consultation with a specialist is recommended.
