How does someone get a deviated or crooked nose?

There are several causes of the deviated nose. Most commonly, it is the result of trauma, motor vehicle accidents with facial trauma, altercations, falls, etc. Some people are born with a naturally divergent nose. In some cases, technical misadventures, or more commonly scarring after a rhinoplasty may cause this problem. Many times it is just a cosmetic nuisance, but it may also be significant enough to cause upper airway compromise, or breathing difficulties.
