The angle between the nose and philtrum is obtuse and is not aesthetically pleasing for a male. It can be corrected by reducing the vertical height of the columella by reducing part of the caudal septum and sometimes the nasal spine. It is almost similar to a tension nose. RegardsDr. J
Your concern can be addressed with a rhinoplasty procedure that would create a deeper junction between the lip and nose.
This can be addressed fairly easily - what you have is called "tension nose" and is substantially a nasal septum which has overgrown to pull the skin upwards.
That can be addressed with a closed rhinoplasty.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA...................
Thanks for the picturesThe angle between the lip and nasal columella is very obtuse. It can be corrected by the reducing of the nasal spine(behind the lip) and sometimes the caudal septal cartilage (behind the columella). The surgery can be performed with a intraoral access or closed rhinoplasty. Sometimes may also require elongation of the upper lip by a intraoral Z-plasty.You should see a rhinoplasty specialist.
This can be corrected with a tip rhinoplasty and re-shaping of the columella. Best to see a plastic surgeon for an evaluation.
The photographs show a very prominent nasal spine, caudal septum and columella. A columellar plasty can be performed as a stand-alone procedure to remove cartilage and skin to decrease the angle between the nose and upper lip. The columellar-plasty can be performed with a full rhinoplasty if necessary. For many examples of columellar show reduction ,please see link below
This can definitely be corrected. I would recommend rhinoplasty to trim and reshape the cartilage in this area and allow the soft tissue to retract to accomplish your goals.
The fullness you describe can be corrected by removing the cartilage at the base of your columella (the strip between your nostrils) or if necessary the prominence of bone at the top of your lip. If you want this can be accomplished using just local anesthesia.
This is the columellar incision used for open approach to rhinoplasty. The redness will go away with time and the incision will be barely visible. RegardsDr. J
I am really impressed, you basically learned what most med students learn about nasal valve collapse all by yourself! When you pull on your cheeks, you are doing the "cottle maneuver" which basically opens the valve. Let me start by saying, nasal valve collapse is a very difficult...
Dear Chilisauce, As stated numerous times below an examination will be needed to make a proper diagnosis. You have several possible choices to be discussed after examination which may include, leaving the implant in and living with the bump, a small amount of filler to camouflage the bump,...
