Are Alar Batten Grafts the solution for the indentation on both sides of my nose tip for a revision? (photos)

Thank you for your question about alar batten grafts.  Yes, they are a very useful tool in the Rhinoplasty surgeons armamentarium.  These grafts are utilized for various reasons including stabilizing the lower lateral cartilages, extending the alar rim, and making concave cartilages into convex cartilages to aid in external valve collapse.  Revision rhinoplasty is a very complicated procedure that should really only be done by specialists in the face and nose.  Please make sure that you are seeking the advice of a double board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon.  IF your surgeon does anything other than faces, they are not specialists.

A full set of facial photographs, and an in-person examination, and copies of the operative report are going to be required to make a determination about which techniques to use in revision rhinoplasty. With the revision rhinoplasty, there has been previous alterations to the normal anatomy, and scar tissue formation. Revision rhinoplasty is much more difficult  than a primary rhinoplasty, so the techniques performed are best determined at the time of the consultation. Choose your second surgeon wisely based on extensive experience.
