Hello, I got a rhinoseptoplasty with turbinate reduction November of 2023. I noticed immediately after surgery that I had a prominent line on my nose that lined up with my nasolabial fold. As the swelling has gone down it has become less noticeable, but I can still feel a strange sensation almost like sagging pressure and still see a faint line. Is this a mid vault collapse? Would I need an open rhinoplasty to add a rib graft or can this be done closed? My primary rhinoplasty was closed. Thanks
Answer: It's not clear from your photographs what is bothering you about your nose. In general, revision rhinoplasty should be reserved for severe dissatisfaction with somebody's nasal appearance after previous surgery, or nasal obstruction after previous surgery. If you are seeing an indentation, or a crease, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 maybe considered fulfilling it in, and this may be a welcome substitute for the surgery. Thank you for this question, and I hope it helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Open rhinoplasty Unfortunately, you have not provided a true lateral view. In some of the views, it looks like you have a super tip hollow and that may be what you are concerned about. The tip of the nose is slightly broad. I recommend an open rhinoplasty to correct this. You may not need rib grafting but may need cadaver cartilage to correct the super tip hollow.

Answer: Rhinoplasty If you have mid vault collapse it is minor. As long as you don’t have any breathing problems I would not recommend surgery. Your result is good

Answer: Nose deformity after upper lateral cartilage collapse Based on these photos, it is very likely that this is secondary deformity based on the collapse of mid lateral vault (upper lateral cartilage). In your case, in particular if you do not have any issues with obstruction, correction with a small amount of HA filler may be quite acceptable solution. Good luck.
