Hello! I got a septo-rhinoplasty in April 2010. It is strange because my nose looks beautiful 95% of the time BUT when I go under certain lights, my nose looks like it has a huge dent in it. I went to talk to my doctor and he said he couldn't see the "dent" I was talking about. So I am going to see him next week with this picture I took. Did my surgeon do something wrong? Or did I do something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
If the implant is not too big or too displaced, then my nonsurgical rhinoplasty using my micro droplet technique injecting medical grade liquid silicone into the 'defects' would fix the problem - permanently and immediately without the need for surgery or recovery at far less expense!
Is it possible to narrow the nose tip, with closed rhinoplasty? If so, how will this get done? thanks eric
Yes. The tip is narrowed by gaining access to the tip cartilages from inside the nostrils. They are then trimmed to.make them smaller and narrower.
Everytime I go to a consultation (in Houston, TX) and I ask doctors how they will address my nostrils they say "I will make incisions to the inside of your nose". I do not have a problem with sill excisions to decrease the width of my nose, but doctors never say anything about doing alar wedge excisions to address my flare! It's like they dont want to make any external cuts. Is it possible to reduce flare with internal excisions? If so, what technique is this??
Yes. It is possible to reduce nostril flare and the lower 1/3 width of the nose with internally by excising a diamond shaped soft tissue beneath the collumella-upper lip area; and then by suturing the defect closed and thus converting the diamond defect into a straight line, the width of the nose decreases while at the same time increases the height of the nasal tip, and widens the naso-labial angle. Additional adjustments to equalize the width descrepancies of your nose would be necessary to improve and define your nose further. I always prefer to do before and after pictures prior to surgery (via email too) so that we would be more exact on your esthetic goals. In your case you may need alar base resections (direct excision) in order to maximize your cosmetic result
