M95: Other acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue
M95.0: Acquired deformity of nose
Acquired deformity of the nose, as the term suggests, is a condition where a person's nose changes in shape after birth, not as a result of natural growth or development. This condition does not include congenital deformities, meaning deformities one is born with. Acquired nasal deformities often result from physical trauma, injuries, tumors, or diseases like skin conditions or cancer. The severity and appearance of the deformity may vary widely, ranging from subtle changes to significant alterations in the size, shape, or functionality of the nose. Symptoms can include changes in the nose's physical appearance, difficulty breathing, nasal obstruction, or frequent nosebleeds. This condition impacts not only the visual or aesthetic aspect, but depending on the severity, it can also hinder nasal function and affect an individual's quality of life.
