Primary rhinoplasty done in the past & recently noticed the cartridge walls popping out on both sides of the nasal wall, very prominent on one side more than the other. Head must be tilted upward for a clear view. What is this? Is it common after a primary rhinoplasty? Is it caused from occasional tweezing nose hairs, could the sutures have been pulled apart, I started plucking 1-2 years after rhinoplasty and its occasional just visible hairs. How is this fixed? Price range, possibly in NY?

Augmentation of the radix can be done many ways. Fillers are a temporary means of correction and can be costly over time. Filling with your own fat (fat grafting) is an option that is more permanent. Alternatively, augmentation with alloderm or rib cartilage can be performed. Hope this helps.
