Could paranasal augmentation, implants or tip plasty bring the nose forward? (Photos)

Question

I want to get my nose brought forward, to correct the angle of my upper lip, to correct the angle between my upper lip and nose tip (90> degrees) and to have a forwarded, well-developed maxilla.1- Are the paranasal implants such as Medpor paranasal implants in the photos the only way? Can it be done just by tip plasty itself?2- If the paranasal implants are chosen, can they be placed together with tip plasty under local anesthesia?3- Can any plastic surgeon place these paranasal implants?

Hello,Thank you for your question. In my practice I use only autogenous cartilage grafts which is beneficial in terms of survival and last life long without complications. Based on your photos you may benefit from the tip refinement to put it forward by my own techniques. Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging procedures in plastic surgery, and tip plasty is its most difficult aspect. The lower lateral cartilage is (LLC) is the primary structure that is responsible for the shape and function of the ala. I have developed a Novel Technique which is called as Superior-Based Transposition Flap to reshape, relocalize and reinforce the LLC as a support material for both internal and external valves with aesthetic corrections, leaving the scroll area untouched.
Comparing to the open rhinoplasty Closed and Atraumatic technique in Rhinoplasty minimizes swelling and bruises; maximizes healing, prevents tissue damage and eliminates a scar on the columella. To find out more please click on the attached link.

Because your morphed image shows a premaxillary augmentation with increased opening to the nasolabial angle, and you have a flatter midface in general, a typically rhinoplasty is not gong to by itself create that type of nasal base base change. Your midface needs to be augmented with your rhinoplasty. Whether such premaxillary-paranasal-maxillary augmentation is done by using your own tissues or various types of implants is open for preoperative discussion.

Hello and thank you for your question.The angle you mean to change its known as the nasolabial angle, and the changes you want can either be addressed with the use of a paranasal or pre-spine implant or graft,or a septal extension technique. You and your doctor should decide which of these alternatives will work better for you.
