Rhinoplasty for wide nose only when smiling? (Photo)

rhiannoncarterJul 21, 2023
I had double jaw surgery 1.5 years ago to correct an 11mm overbite and excess gummy smile, I’m really happy with the result however it has changed the shape of my nose which I was happy with before, it only changes dramatically when I smile, I am happy with my nose at rest. Is there a procedure that can limit to wideness when I smile? Thank you

If you want your nose shortened it’s actually pretty simple to do and I think would make a nice improvement in the appearance of your nose. I would do no more steroid injections

It can be a too deeply placed columellar strut or it can be a so called "septal extension graft" which is fixed to the caudal septum to reshape your tip. The graft length, size or shape can be adjusted so that the pulling of the columella can be eased. It may not need a full revision rhinoplasty...
