Middle-vault Collapse and Detached Lateral Cartilage Due To Trauma, What Can I Do To Fix This?

August 12, 2011
Asked By:anon4224

Due to trauma in which my nasal tip was hit very hard it seems this has caused its detachment from essential areas for support and has made the bridge/middle vault cartilage collapse. How can this be fixed? Its made for not only breathing obstruction but also a great deformity as its become very disharmonious with my face. Is it possible to build the bridge up with grafts while also reattaching/refining the tip to how it was before? Thank you.
