Can Sides of my Nose Be Narrowed with Scar Tissue Removal? (photo)

There are a few ways of addressing collapsed nasal valves. These include batten grafts, lower lateral cartilage strut grafting (and/or repositioning) and spreader grafts. The idea is to strengthen the weakened nasal valves to help minimize collapse as you breath in. You can learn more about...

I suspect that your nasal valve collapse was masked by your previously blocked nasal passages. Once you had your septoplasty which improved your nasal airflow you now experience increased internal airflow which can create more negative pressure in the nostril area. This can then lead to nostril...

From your description, it sounds like you have thin skin at your tip causing the shield graft to become visible.  This is due to a lack of tissue between the graft and skin.  If you where having scar tissue form over your graft, it would actually help you as it would would create more...

If you're concerned by a pinched appearance of your nasal bridge after revision rhinoplasty, it may be best to leave further surgery as a last resort. You may be a candidate for an injectable filler procedure to add volume to the pinched areas. My experience is with Silikon-1000, an off-label...

Great question. There are a few ways the nasal tip can be deprojected, and the chosen method will depend on the individual circumstances of the patient. Cartilage does not always have to be removed, but may be repositioned or altered instead.  If the lower lateral cartilages are too long,...

Dear Shawn,  -It all depends on what it looks like and because of that it is hard to advise you on what is exactly going on and how to fix it -It could be that the skin is thin and when the swelling comes down, the bump reappears -It could also be excess scar tissue that may...
