Reattaching Lower Lateral Cartilage to the Nasal Spine?

July 14, 2011
Asked By:anon4224

After a case of trauma, the left side of my lower lateral cartilage became deviated from my nasal spine (when I push up and in on it I can hear it clicking back into place and it will stay there for a few seconds before it pops back off). This has made the tip drop and also caused middle vault and valve collapse which has been quite deforming and obstructing my breathing ability. Would both of the problems be able to be fixed simultaneously with grafts and some sort of tip work? Thank you.
