The side of my nose seems to curve inward too far to the point where my nose looks too narrow. Can spreader grafts be put in to widen the lower part of my nose, without affecting the top part of my nose?
Answer: Spreader grafts Hello and thank you for your question. Spreader grafts can be used in the lower 1/3 of the nose to help straighten the nose and correct indentations in the dorsal aesthetic lines. without affecting the upper nose. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon.

Answer: Pinched appearance after rhinoplasty The pinched appearance after rhinoplasty can often be corrected by placing alar grafts, either through a closed or an open approach. This also corrects breathing difficulties stemming from the loss of alar support

Answer: Spreader grafts help breathing and cosmesis--but let the surgeon decide what you need!! Spreader grafts are strips of (usually septal) cartilage that are placed alongside the uppermost aspect of the nasal septum and can serve to widen the internal nasal valve, improve indentations of the nasal sidewall, or both. Please don't get too caught up in what technique you need. An ideal consultation involves a discussion between you and your surgeon about what you dislike about your nose. The surgeon, who has the expertise to know what techniques work to address your concerns, then formulates a surgical plan. Computer imaging helps solidify the discussion.

Answer: #rhinoplasty HiThe short answer is yes you can have spreaders only in the middle 1/3 of the nose but this is unusual as normally we are narrowing the nasal bones as well. It is impossible to give an opinion about your specific nose without more photos.CheersDamien
