Specialist Opinion: Reflecting the patient's strong desire for a natural outcome, this case was performed with minimal surgical intervention using only septal cartilage. In particular, while correcting the dorsal hump and improving the crooked nose, excessive changes were avoided, achieving a natural result.

Limitations and risks
When the septum is corrected at the same time, nasal obstruction may persist or recur, and in rare cases, septal perforation or changes in smell may occur.
Common potential risks include infection, bleeding, asymmetry, scarring, skin necrosis, and insufficient improvement; results vary depending on individual skin condition and previous surgical history.
