Removal of anterior nasal spine on rhinoplasty? (Photo)

xxxxxxtyhbjAug 17, 2023

I had a rhinoplasty 2.5 years ago. When smiling, something looks off, and my upper lip goes upward behind the collumela, and my nose crookes because of the upward force. Before surgery, I could clearly feel the anterior nasal spine bone where my collumela meets my upper lip when pressing upward. Now, there’s no bone, just cartilage (septum?). I can safely say the bone is gone and it’s enabling my upper lip to move upward more than it used to. Is there a solution to this?

A needle is not strong enough to shave bone. It can shave cartilage down though. The bone would have to be filed down with a rasp, but the procedure is quick under a local anesthetic.

Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can see from your question, the cadaveric rib sometimes cannot fit into your body and due to this situation it is dissolved. Best Regards!
