My nostrils are at two different heights. Can an alar rim graft solve this issue? (Photo)

natalievvdrSep 11, 2016

See question. Wondering whether that graft alone would push down my higher nostril and make it match the other. I've had rhinoplasty but the issue wasn't addressed, I would like to ask my surgeon to perform the graft after 1 year (I've always had this). Would it help?

Thank you for your question. If your nostrils have collapsed and you now have to breathe through your mouth, it is definitely cause for a revision procedure. It has been long enough after your first rhinoplasty to consider a revision rhinoplasty. I recommend consulting a board certified facial...

I have seen the ones from your previous operation, and in spite of their poor quality it is very clear your problem is congenital, this means you were born with extremely asymmetrical alar cartilages and specially their lateral cruras, which also suffer a certain degree of inversion/concavity.To...

Your arrow is pointing to the "soft tissue triangle" of the nose. It is a specific region of the nose beneath the lower lateral cartilage. If you don't like the indentation you can consider inserting a piece of cartilage there, or even some injectable filler for a temporary solution.

The examples you have used are all carried out under general anesthesia, as well as the rhinoplasties (unless they are minimal tip procedures and never in revisions).A complete primary rhinoplasty or any kind of revision rhinoplasty may end with your death, chronic brain damage or vegetative...

Hello hangininthere - Thanks for your question. In my personal opinion, your "after" nose looks really nice. That being said, you don't like it and that's what matters.  You would need to wait a year after your surgery to be able to have revision rhinoplasty.  Revision rhinoplasty will help re...
