To the patient seeking correction of a twisted nose, it is as important to obtain a good shape as it is to achieve normal breathing. The functional problem must be solved regardless of the extent of the resection required. The plastic surgeon may choose among many techniques, some of which have been elucidated. Our preferred approach has been described in detail. We reiterate that experience has shown that a deviated septum which requires stabilization after surgery will recur to a greater or lesser degree at a later date. A twisted nose, to be permanently corrected, should maintain its corrected position without external support at the end of the operation.
对于寻求矫正歪鼻的患者来说，获得良好的鼻形与实现正常呼吸同样重要。无论所需切除的范围如何，都必须解决功能问题。整形外科医生可以在多种技术中进行选择，其中一些技术已经得到阐明。我们首选的方法已详细描述。我们重申，经验表明，术后需要固定的鼻中隔日后或多或少会复发。要永久性地矫正歪鼻，在手术结束时应在没有外部支撑的情况下保持其矫正后的位置。
