Saddle Nose
Some patients may also experience saddle nose from genetic disorders like Wegener’s granulomatosis or Sarcoidosis, but these conditions are rare.
Deviated Septum
The reduced air passage can affect a patient’s ability to breath correctly, often disrupting sleep and mood.
The condition can cause an increase in nosebleeds as well as facial pain if left untreated. A deviated septum can arise from a condition at birth or can be caused by a traumatic injury.
Reconstruction After Trauma
Patients who have experienced trauma to the nose may require reconstruction through rhinoplasty. Blunt force trauma caused by combat and motor vehicle accidents could also require reconstruction. Trauma to the nose isn’t always structural in nature. Patients who have skin cancer excised from the nose may require plastic surgery with skin grafting to restore the appearance of the nose.
Rhinophyma
Rhinophyma is a condition that causes prominent pore and thickening of the skin, often brought on by untreated rosacea. The conditions pink and bulbous growth of the nose can actually be so heavy that patients are unable to breath or see properly, sometimes even crushing the structure of the nose from the sheer weight. Skin is excised and the structure is restored if needed.
