It is challenging to correct a narrow nose, but this can be done so with spreader grafts and/or other procedures, however, one needs to see and analyze the patient and should be done by a Rhinoplasty Surgeon.
Modern rhinoplasty techniques can effectively widen the nose. The area that needs to be widened will dictate what techniques are used. Often a high bridge or dorsal hump causes the upper part of the nose to look to narrow. Lowering the bridge or removing a hump will widen the nasal bones and make the bridge appear broader. The nasal bones can also be surgically broken and rotated outward to increase the width. If the middle portion of the nose is too narrow, spreader grafts can increase the width of the mid-vault. Finally, a narrow tip can be widened with cartilage grafts.
In some ways you are considering a augmentation rhinoplasty.This is traditionally achieved by addition of grafts harvested from the septum, ear or ribs.Some physcians use fillers to achieve a non-surgical rhinoplasty but this is controversial.
Yes. Reverse osteotomies have to be employed where the nose bones are widened, and then spreader grafts are placed in the new location, both in the cartilage and in the bony area of the nose. The tip can also be widened with structural cartilage grafts to create a more balanced, wider nose.
In primary rhinoplasty, it is much more common to reduce or narrow a nose than it is to "thicken" a nose, but it certainly can be done. The middle of the nose can be augmented with grafts (such as spreader grafts, dorsal onlay grafts, or sidewall grafts.) Nasal bones can be moved out to widen the nose. The best thing for you to do is see a rhinoplasty surgeon, and discuss your goals with them. They will let you know if your desires are achievable, and what needs to be done to attain the result.Good luck!
It depends on the technique used in the septoplasty. Most commonly a septal resection is used which removes the deviated portion of the cartilage. This way the deviated septum should not reccur. Scorring of the cartilage has less effect and might reccur but it is also used in milder cases.
Septal swelling after rhinoplasty is very common. Tenderness or a foul smell would bother me. When there is any doubt, see your surgeon. If you were my patient, I would want to examine you.
Just stop doing what caused the swelling. =)In general, your nose has less natural protection from the sun right after rhinoplasty. All the tissue was just elevated off of the internal structure of the nose, including the bone and cartilage, and blood vessels were coagulated in order to do this....
If the skin has been stretched out over an implant in the nose and it is visible and palpable, it is probably time to have the implant removed and replaced back into a normal anatomical position so that it does not stretch the skin. If the skin stretching continues, it will wear down the skin,...
Thank you for the question. You should absolutely consult with your physician about your smoking and drinking habits in order to obtain the most reliable and individualized medical advice. Most specialists recommend abstaining from smoking for 2-3 weeks before a rhinoplasty, while others ma...
Rhinoplasty surgery can cause bruising that may progress to the eyelids and even into the eyes. The latter is rare, but can occur with nasal fracture. Blood in the eyes are known as injected sclera. Reducing bruising after rhinoplasty should begin before surgery with the application of products...
