Aquiline Nose Causes Nasal Septum Deviation.

Aquiline nose is often called as crooked nose or witch’s nose. It is a nose shaped with an upward curve on the bridge. It is often noticeable on the side not on the front.

The cause of it can be genetic or distortion after outside crash/impact or plastic surgery. But most frequent cause of it is nasal septum deviation.

As cartilage grows, it pushes the nose bone and bents and becomes a crooked shape.

The signs of it are similar with rhinitis such as having stuffy or runny nose. Those are not life-threatening symptoms but aquiline nose can cause rhinitis, sinusitis, snoring, or sleep disorder as time passes.

In rhinoplasty, functional side should be also considered with overall face balance and aesthetic shape. Nose is a critical part of body which is a key to breathing system.


For this reason, nose’ inside/outside correction and detailed and accurate design should be done at the same time. To prevent any re-operation or health problems, the surgery should be operated by professionals with a plenty of experience and skills.
