do low bridged, wide asian noses benefit from lateral osteotomy? will it help with nasal base narrowing and overall making the nose less wide?
Answer: Lateral osteotomies on Asian noses Lateral osteotomies can help with narrowing the wide nose. There are attachments from the nasal bone to the nasal base or ala, called pyriform ligaments, that will be moved inward. Better yet, the ligaments can be detached from the edge of the nasal bone and the nostrils can be allowed to collapse in on one another to narrow the nostrils. An added benefit of the lateral osteotomy is that 1mm or so of dorsal height can be gained.

Answer: Lateral osteotomy to narrow nasal bones. There are many factors that go into whether you will need lateral osteotomy to narrow your nasal bones during a rhinoplasty. If this is indicated it will not affect your airway if properly done by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.

Answer: Factors involved in deciding to perform lateral osteotomies during Asian rhinoplasty For wide nasal bones that are obliquely oriented, lateral osteotomies will be successful in narrowing and improving the shape of the dorsum. In some Asian patients, the dorsum is so low, and the bones so horizontally oriented, that osteotomies will not be a great choice and recreating dorsal aesthetic lines with a dorsal graft (such as a diced cartilage fascia - DCF) is the best option.

Answer: Asian rhinoplasty Most Asian rhinoplasty patients do not require osteotomies but it would be nice to see your photographs. There are other maneuvers to narrow the base. You would be best served by an in person evaluation of your nose by a board certified facial plastic surgeon with expertise in Asian rhinoplasty.
