Yes, tension nose refers to overgrown nasal septal cartilage, which in turn can be a good (more abundant) source of cartilage grafting during a rhinoplasty to achieve either cosmetic or functional goals of the surgery.
hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question and the picture you showed you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty with technique open with refined the tip. and elevate the tip.
You are likely correct. It does appear that you have at least a component of a tension nose. When you smile, if your tip points downward that is also a good indication of a tension nose. A tension nose results when the septum is too long and too high and it pushes your tip downward. This creates a tension effect on the tip that lowers the tip especially when smiling. I would see a rhinoplasty surgeon in your area if you wish to have it corrected.
Yes you do have a tension nose. This is not a typical question from a patient. When I see a patient like yourself, I would indicate to them that they have a tension nose because this diagnosis has some clinical significance. In a tension nose, the dorsal hump is maintaining the tip projection and if the hump is reduce the tip would loose its projection and would remain under projected with a supratip fullness and deformity. A columella strut would need to be done to maintain the tip projection, especially if the medial crurae of the lower lateral cartilages are week. We test for that by pushing on the tip and feeling the resistance with the finger tip. I am sure any good rhinoplasty expert would be aware of the need to protect tip projection, if you were to decide to have a rhinoplasty. If they don’t mention this to you, you should seek another opinion.
A tension nose occurs when there is a prominent nasal dorsal hump and an under-rotated nasal tip. This leads to an overly prominent nose with a droopy appearance. Treating the tension nose can be tricky, because removing the hump can lead to loss of tip support leading to drooping of the tip. This is not a difficult issue to treat, but the nasal tip must be supported. As always, be sure to see an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for evaluation and treatment.
Yes! Your septum is holding the tips projection and when the hump is removed the tip will fall unless it is supported!However the tip should not be rotated or you will get a piggy nose. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does natural feminine noses.
Hello and thank you for your question. Based on yoursingle side profile photograph, you do have characteristics of a tension nose with a high dorsal hump and drooping nasal tip which likely lacks tip support. You may benefit from cephalic rotation of your tip to turnup your tip slightly, conservative dorsal hump reduction, and a columellar strut graft to add tip support. Makesure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patientswho have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computeranimation system. You should be able toview numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performedby your surgeon. Best wishes and good luck.Richard G.

Yes, a tension nose has a large hump almost pushing the nose outwards from the face and pushing down the tip as well. It requires reducing the hump, and the nasal spine area where the septum is attached. This relaxes the whole nose and makes it less protruding. RegardsDr. J
From they photo, it definitely appears that you have a bit of tension septum. The clue is that there is blunting of the angle between your lip and nose. This tends to make the tip project out excessively. This can be corrected with rhinoplasty. Make sure you select a surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty.
There is some component of an over- projecting tip in the photo. However, it is not extreme. The other components are a significant dorsal hump and an underprice ting chin. a traditional rhinoplasty with/without chin implant would yield a great outcome.Best regards-
In rhinoplasty, there is often a need to add extra volume to the dorsum or bridge of the nose. Two options that can be used to add this volume are a solid piece of rib cartilage or pieces of cartilage (from the nose, ear, or rib) that are diced into small pieces and then wrapped or covered in...
I don't see any problem with tweezing a few eyebrow hairs 1 month post surgery, however, if you want to be extra cautious, consult with your surgeon!
First of all I'll say that i rarely need rib cartilage, preferring to harvest septal or ear cartilage. When using rib cartilage there will be a visible scar on the chest, the procedure is more painful, and there is the risk of injury to the lung cavity although this is very rare. After rhi...
