if a columellar strut graft shifts to one side, can it be straightened back in place using local anesthetic during an in-patient visit?
Answer: Displaced columellar strut It really depends on why the strut is displaced. It may be too long and to one side of the nasal spine for example. It is fairly easy to straighten it under local but the surgeon needs to evaluate the reason for the displacement and correct that also.

Answer: Displacement of a columella strut graft The short answer to your question is that repositioning a columella strut graft can be performed under local anesthesia. I think it is more important to make certain the reason for the graft displacement is addressed appropriately. Was the graft too large? Is there too much tension on the columella? Is a strut graft even necessary?
