Can lateral crural steal be reversed?

Question

My septoplasty surgeon ended up doing a lateral crural steal to my tip, which I did NOT ask for. Can it be reversed? If so, will it require any grafts? What is the procedure like?

Richard Mark Winters, MD · Answer

'lateral crural steal' (if that is in fact what was actually done) involves releasing the lateral crura of the lower lateral cartilages (often by releasing the accessory cartilages) and advancing the tip to increase projection.....

if this has aesthetically changed your tip, fixing it will depend upon how it was done and whether or not other maneuvers were added (cephalic trim, etc.)

good luck...
