Is it possible to restore/rebuild the footplates?

February 2, 2024
Asked By:gk14 in Kilsby, England, United Kingdom

To make the columella look more towards how it was before. Like this: /\ instead of this: ||. This matchstick columella look was not something I agreed to and I hate it. I will be getting revision anyway so want to know if the area can be restored to some degree with grafting of some sort?

Steven M. Denenberg, MD says:

Asymmetry of the nostrils, by itself, can be very difficult to fix. However, if there is a bump, too, and the tip has fallen, then those two issues should be addressed at the same time as looking at the nostrils. Hard to say what's causing the breathing problem, without having the chance to look...
