What this site is for
This is a patient decision guide, not a textbook. The anatomy of the nose and the way a face is analysed sit on the Facial Aesthetic Surgery hub, and the operations themselves are described on the rhinoplasty sites. What this site adds is the part a patient has to do alone: understanding that a crooked nose is usually a functional question first, working out what is actually deviated, and knowing that a straighter nose and a clear airway are two different results that do not always arrive together.
Who writes it
The guides are written by the clinical content team of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital and medically reviewed by Tongchun Mao, MD, Deputy Director and Head of Aesthetic Surgery, who performs this surgery here. Every page carries the reviewer's name and the date it was last reviewed. Nothing on this site is attributed to a clinician who has not read it.
What we deliberately do not publish
No prices, because a real figure depends on whether the septum, the bridge or both are treated, whether grafting is needed, the anaesthetic and the facility, and a number invented for a web page misleads more than it helps. No brand names for medicines or devices. No dosages. No claims that a particular result will be achieved, and no before-and-after images used as evidence, because the result in one nose does not predict the result in yours.
The limits of a website
Nothing here can tell you what is deviated or whether it is blocking your breathing. That requires an examination inside the nose, an assessment of how air moves through each side, a look at the septum and the valves, and often a trial of medical treatment first — findings that take minutes in person and cannot be produced through a screen. Use this site to arrive at a consultation with better questions, and treat any answer you receive here as general information rather than advice about you.
