In physiognomy, the nose is not only the center of the face but also a symbol of fortune, career and health. However, a crooked nose not only affects aesthetics but is also considered a sign of loss of fortune. So does this condition really cause loss of fortune?
What is a crooked nose?
A crooked nose is a condition in which the nose is not straight along the central axis of the face but is deviated to one side, curved in a C or S shape. The crooked shape can be:
Congenital nasal deformity: appears from childhood, due to abnormal nasal bone structure.
Post-traumatic scoliosis: due to accident or strong impact causing bone or cartilage to be misaligned.
Post-cosmetic surgery curvature: due to incorrect technique or contracted body.
This condition can be mild (can only be seen with close inspection) or severe (visible to the naked eye), greatly affecting the overall appearance and balance of the face.
