I was wondering if the noseratainer prevents the nose from collapsing? Or does it depend of the surgons work?
Answer: Nose retainer I think nose retainer helps to prevent narrowing of the nose a little bit. But, basically, I do not think it prevents the collapse of the nose. Collapse, if it happens, might be caused other factors. Thanks.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Nasal Dilators / Nostril Retainers Hello, I assume you are referring to the nostril retainers that some surgeons (myself included) use after surgery to support your nostrils? These are different than the internal splints (Doyle splints) that are used after some rhinoplasties to support the bones and septum. For the nostril retainers, they are indeed used to reduce the risk of nostril shape asymmetry or collapse during the healing phase. The majority of patients would likely heal fine without them, however in my experience using them, the rate of nostril asymmetry is significantly improved with the extra support that they add. In summary, they aren't always required, but they certainly help reduce the chance of problems.

Answer: Nose Devices The surgeon's work is the most important factor when it comes to long-term success in rhinoplasty. There are some factors that are out of the surgeon's control, however. Certain people may have a tendency to heal differently than others, and scar tissue does have the ability to pull and change the nose over time. Nasal shaping devices, taping, and such are sometimes used in the early post-operative period but should not be relied upon for long-term success in the form and function after rhinoplasty.

Answer: Nose collapsing Hi there! Nose collapsing following rhinoplasty is typically due to lack of supportive nasal cartilage. Lack of cartilage may be due the request of narrowing the nasal tip, fracturing the nose to narrow at the nasal bones. This can also happen following dorsal hump reduction. There has to be a balance in the external aesthetic and creation of a smaller nose and breathing.

Answer: Nasal collapse after rhinoplasty surgery is due to the surgeon's work. When we talk about collapsing of somebody's nose after rhinoplasty, this typically happens with an over resection of septal cartilage. This can lead to a saddle nose deformity. I am not sure what a nose retainer is but we do not use them. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
