What type of nose do I have (I believe it may be a minor case of 'saddle-nose')? This is a defect which I was unfortunately born with & is not a collapse from a prior procedure (I've never had rhinoplasty before).

Answer: Is this a saddle nose Thank you for your question. You do not have a saddle nose. Saddle deformities result due to loss of structural support along the dorsum of the nose.From what I can see, you appear to have mild over-projection of the dorsum of the nose. This can be readily corrected with a standard rhinoplasty procedure.Kind regards.

Answer: How do I fix this nose deformity (is it a saddle nose)? Hi, I have performed many Rhinoplasty Surgeries over the past 30 years. This does not appear to be a saddle deformity (scooped out bridge) but rather a slight dorsal bump with a wide nasal tip that is under-rotated (makes the nose appear long). Rhinoplasty to rasp down the bump, thin and refine the nasal tip seems appropriate. A saddle deformity is caused by some type of trauma to the septal cartilage resuting it loss of cartilage and collapse of the nasal bridge inward. Your nasal tip is slightly higher (projected off of the face) than the height of the nasal bridge which can also be adjusted during a Closed Rhinoplasty.Hope this helps.
