Athletes and cocaine addicts are usually two groups that don’t really have much in common (there could be exceptions). A nasal deformity like a saddle-nose is one thing these two groups are known to have in common however.
A saddle-nose can be corrected by a nose surgery by way of application of certain surgery techniques. The deformity is usually an acquired condition.
In many ways, the characteristics of a patient with a saddle-nose are very similar to certain people of African-American heritage as both cases are found to have an indistinct nasal tip and a depression in the bridge. The length of the nose is also shorter in both cases and is usually one of the more distinguishing characteristics of a saddle-nose.
It goes without saying then that the cases of saddle-nose occurrence are not uncommon among certain ethnic groups. People who have had previous nose surgery procedures like reductive rhinoplasty too at times face a saddle-nose problem.
Saddle-nose correction via a corrective nose surgery is usually carried out when the candidate finds a difficulty during respiration or is looking for nose enhancement. But for those patients who have acquired the deformity due to intranasal cocaine/drug use, they have to be off such substances for at least year before the surgery.
Additionally, drug users have to exhibit a high degree of improvement from their addiction as well.
