Can a Hooked Nose and Deviated Nose Be Surgery at the Same Time in Gangnam?
When a hooked nose and deviated nose are present together, the question "Can both be corrected at once?" is very natural. To answer directly: after precise diagnosis, a plan to correct both deformities with a single surgery can be established.
According to a research team from Kyung Hee University School of Medicine published in Journal of Clinical Medicine(2025), approximately 83% of hooked nose patients had accompanying deviated noses, and it was confirmed that both deformities simultaneously influence surgical planning. This means that hooked noses and deviated noses commonly share the same structural causes.
However, because the surgical scope varies depending on the degree of accompanying condition, nose bone structure, and nasal septum status, a process of establishing a personalized surgical plan after precise examinations such as 3D-CT is absolutely necessary. Whether simultaneous surgery is possible in your case should be determined after sufficient consultation with a specialist based on precise diagnostic results.
Why Hooked Noses and Deviated Noses Appear Together and Surgical Methods
The appearance of hooked noses and deviated noses together is often not a coincidence. Overgrowth of the deviated nasal septum cartilage, which serves as a divider inside the nose, or external trauma can be common causes of both deformities in many cases.
In terms of surgical methods, the two deformities are structurally closely connected. When the hooked portion is removed, an 'open loop' phenomenon can occur where the roof structure of the nasal bridge opens. To prevent this, osteotomy must be performed together. Deviated nose correction also includes a process of balancing both nasal bones through osteotomy, so the core techniques of both surgeries overlap in structure. Clinical data reports that performing osteotomy in a single process when planning both deformities simultaneously can have a positive effect on surgical results.
The deviated nasal septum cartilage can be utilized as an autograft material for tip support after correction, so when deviated nasal septum is accompanied, it is efficient to plan both external correction and functional improvement simultaneously. It should also be considered that neglecting deviated nasal septum can lead to severe nasal congestion or subsequently result in rhinitis, sinusitis, and other conditions. However, because surgical difficulty increases depending on the nasal septum status, CT analysis before surgery is an essential step.

Before Simultaneous Hooked Nose and Deviated Nose Correction, Check This First
Understanding in advance which cases are suitable for simultaneous surgery and which cases are recommended for staged approaches helps reduce the risk of unnecessary revision surgery after surgery.
▪ Before considering simultaneous surgery, check the following items first
▪ Do you have accompanying nasal congestion symptoms?
→ If deviated nasal septum is present together, it can be helpful to plan both external correction and functional improvement simultaneously. According to clinical data, if only external correction is performed without deviated nasal septum correction, there is a risk of recurrence and concerns about worsening nasal congestion.
▪ Are you aware that this is a surgery involving osteotomy?
→ Surgery involving osteotomy can result in swelling and bruising lasting longer than surgery without it, and 3 to 6 months is needed for the final nose line to be completed. It is important to decide on timing after sufficiently considering your recovery period plan.
▪ Have you undergone CT and nasal endoscopy before surgery?
→ The deviated nasal septum status and nasal bone thickness are difficult to confirm with the naked eye. It is advisable to accurately understand the internal structure through 3D-CT and nasal endoscopy before surgery, then determine surgical suitability.
▪ Is the degree of your hooked nose mild?
→ Depending on the degree of deformity, approaches without osteotomy may be possible, but this also requires specialist judgment after precise examination.
Suitability for the procedure is determined after consultation
Those visiting from Gangnam-area locations such as Apgujeong rhinoplasty, Cheongdam rhinoplasty, and Seocho rhinoplasty can receive precise diagnosis by the same standards, and the same surgical planning process is applied regardless of residential location.
Where to Consult About Simultaneous Hooked Nose and Deviated Nose Surgery in Gangnam?
We recommend receiving precise consultation about simultaneous hooked nose and deviated nose correction at view plastic surgery. To correct a hooked nose and deviated nose with a single surgery, since the structural relationship between the two deformities and advanced techniques such as osteotomy are combined, it is a priority to confirm the surgical scope and plans through sufficient consultation in an environment equipped with precise diagnostic equipment and collaborative consultation systems.
Within a safe system with 3D-CT-based individual nose structure analysis, ENT specialist collaboration, and a 365-day anesthesiology specialist on-site, you can jointly review an approach suited to your nose structure. We encourage you to directly confirm through consultation whether simultaneous hooked nose and deviated nose correction is the right choice for you.
Simultaneous Hooked Nose and Deviated Nose Surgery, Questions Like These
Q1. Does recovery time become longer if a hooked nose and deviated nose are operated on simultaneously?
When osteotomy is involved, swelling and bruising can last longer than surgery without it. Generally, external swelling subsides considerably within 2 to 4 weeks, but 3 to 6 months of follow-up observation is needed for the nose line to stabilize finally. It is good to plan the recovery timeline in advance and confirm it in detail during consultation.
Q2. If there is deviated nasal septum, should rhinoplasty be done together?
If deviated nasal septum is accompanied by nasal congestion symptoms, it can be helpful to plan both external correction and functional improvement simultaneously. If only external surgery is performed without correcting the deviated nasal septum, there are concerns that nasal congestion may persist or subsequently lead to rhinitis or sinusitis. The deviated nasal septum status must be confirmed through precise examination before deciding.
Q3. If the hooked nose is not severe, can correction be achieved without osteotomy?
If the degree of hooked nose is mild, an approach without osteotomy can be considered. However, the need for osteotomy cannot be determined by visual evaluation alone and must be judged by a specialist after 3D-CT analysis of nasal bone thickness and structure. Whether your case requires osteotomy becomes clear only after precise diagnosis.
Q4. Can deviated nose recur after correction?
If only external deviated nose correction is performed without deviated nasal septum correction, there is a possibility that over time the nasal bones and cartilage may return to their original direction or change in shape. To reduce recurrence risk, it is important to first understand the deviated nasal septum status and, when necessary, plan deviated nasal septum correction together.
Q5. Is there anything to prepare before rhinoplasty consultation in Gangnam?
Before consultation, it is helpful to organize your nose-related symptoms (whether you have nasal congestion, past nose trauma experience, previous surgical history). Additionally, if you bring notes about specific external aspects you find uncomfortable, you can make better use of consultation time. Bringing photos on the day of consultation can also be used as reference material.
