There are several types of rhinoplasty options that can narrow the nose. One common procedure involves removing the cartilage at the base of the nostrils, known as alar base resection. Your plastic surgeon will determine the best way to remove the tissue. This procedure can narrow your nose in a variety ways. Learn more about rhinoplasty procedures. Also, read on to learn more about cartilage grafts and the different types of nose surgery.
Reduktion of the nasal hump
There are two main methods to reduce nasal muffles. An endonasal method involves raising the cephalic end and exposing periosteum. An external approach is made with an 11-bladed saw, which cuts through the nasal bones and septum. This technique allows for the full preservation of the ULCs at the nasal tip.
Columellar incision
Incisions for the columellar incision in rhinoplasty are placed on the inside of the nostrils and extend through the columella, the central pole of the nose. These incisions are low and allow the surgeon to lift the nasal skin envelope to expose the underlying nasal structures. This incision allows for the complete removal of three components of the nose: the tip, turbinates and the base.
Formed cartilage in Nasal strut
A columellar-strut is a graft made from formed cartilage. It can be used to reduce the nose. It is used by a surgeon to stabilize the nasal tip following an open rhinoplasty procedure. The strut, a piece cartilage that extends from your nasal base, is a part of the cartilage. It attaches to the septal cartilage. This stabilizes the base of your nose and allows you to project the nasal tip properly.
Reconstruction and grafting of cartilage to the alar cartilage
Reconstruction of the alar cartilage by cartilaginous Grafts is an alternative to reshaping a nose. Its potential as a spreader transplant graft is another example of its versatility. It is limited in its use as a spreader graft, but some patients have found it useful as a dorsum-graft. This alternative could be useful in correcting or preventing inverted "V" deformities, and improving the airway flow for patients with internal nasal valve defects. It was also tested in Caucasian patients with bulbous tip.
Reconstruction of the sphenoid sinus using cartilage grafts
The advantages of reconstructing the sphenoid sinus with cartilaginous-grafts include: This procedure can enhance the cosmetic and functional outcome of the nose. It is a reliable procedure, and it may improve cosmetic outcomes for a wide range patients. It can improve the appearance and symmetry of the sphenoid sinus, which is a small bony structure at the back of the nose.
Other methods for nose narrowing
The possibility of your nose being too narrow may indicate that you should consider other procedures. To improve your appearance, a septoplasty (or surgical procedure) will reduce the size of your nostrils. Your nasal bones will be reshaped and made more prominent by controlled cuts. This will allow you to restore your smooth and curved nose bridge. A septoplasty procedure can take several month to heal. After the procedure, you may resume normal activities.
