Surgical approach to nasal valves and the midvault in patients with a crooked nose.
Management of the crooked nose and valve obstruction is a challenge for even the most experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. Optimal treatment to restore a functional airway and improve cosmesis requires addressing the nasal valves. Several different techniques are available to guide the rhinoplasty surgeon to achieve the best outcome.
