Does a Deviated Septum affect the appearance of the nose?

The nasal septum is the foundation of the nose and contributes to its appearance. Although deviated septums are very common, most patients are not aware of having a deviated septum, since their external nose is symmetric. A deviated septum may present itself on the external nose as a crooked or twisted nose, big or large nose, an over-projected nasal tip, a rounded nasal tip or a hump.
