Does Nose Inclination Require Surgical Correction?
Hi, I m an 18 year old female. I have an inclined nose cartilage and it seems that my father has it too but he didn t experience any problem with it. Lately, I noticed that this inclination started to increase a little bit towards the left side and I started to get headaches. And when I want to take a deep breath, I usually make an effort and sometimes feel pressure inside my nose. Should I have a nose surgery to fix this inclination? Or is this inclination normal?

Hello,
Nose inclination can be corrected with surgery. It is usually treated in case that it causes difficulty in breathing. Another possible cause of surgery can be a chronic sinus infection caused by the nose inclination.
