On her frontal view, she was seen to have left midvault collapse from a left upper lateral cartilage avulsion. She had septal and nasal tip deviation towards the right. She had a previous septoplasty. On the profile view, there was a moderate dorsal convexity. Functionally she experienced left nasal obstruction from a septal deviation.
