crooked nose

Askew facial feature

A crooked nose is one that bends or deviates from straight, whether from injury, genetics, or cartilage development.

The phrase describes appearance without necessarily implying medical concern: He broke it in a fight and now has a crooked nose.

A crooked nose can be distinctive or characterful rather than simply a flaw.
