I heard that spreader grafts can make the nose appearance wider. Is this true? With dorsal hump removal, I still like the width of my nose..Can that still be maintained?
Answer: Spreader Grafts and Nasal Width Hi Rosalie,Spreader grafts may or may not widen the mid third of the nose depending on the width of the spreader graft and the goal of the surgeon. Make sure to choose your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully. Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Answer: Spreader grafts do not make nose wider. Spreader grafts do not make nose wider unless that is what the surgeon wants to do many noses are too narrow in the mid nose.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Spreader grafts is used to reconstruct the mid dorsum or the middle portion ot the nasal bridge.the junction of upper lateral cartilage and the dorsal septum forms an angle called internal nasalvalve which when narrowed ,by spreader graft placement opens the internal nasal valve.and technically widens the middle nasal vault.and restores a more pleasing brow tip aesthetic line.

Answer: Spreader grafts in rhinoplasty Spreader grafts are functional grafts to improve or maintain nasal airflow. This is not strictly a graft used for esthetics but usually the appearance of the nose will improve when used . This is because patients who require spreader grafts will often have a pinched appearance or "inverted v deformity" over the middle 1/3 of the nose- "cartilagionous vault" usually related to previous surgery or trauma. Internally this is seen as narrowing of the internal nasal valve. Improving this deficiency with a spreader graft will create a more natural looking contour of the nasal dorsum as seen from the radix (top of the nose) to the tip.I do not use these grafts in primary rhinoplasty . In primary rhinoplasty I will preserve more upper lateral cartilage than septal cartilage if removing a large hump. This upper lateral cartilage can then be turned inwards to maintain normal airway patency and normal nasal esthetics, preventing pinching of the cartilagionous dorsum.
