What is the "Roof" of the Nose "Coated" With? Is It Full of Nerves?

paininthenosebridgeMay 26, 2012
my upper part of the nose brige hurts(on one side only).It's very hard to localize it, but now I suspect the tender point is exactly UNDER the bone, on the inside. what is under the bone? is it skin or cartilage, is that place full of nerves? or can you find more nerves on the septum and turbinates? unfortunately i couldn't get a diagnosis until now.at first i thought the pain is located on the middle turbinate, now i tend to believe it's under the bone. thank you in advance!

If the only thing you had was a stitch… this can be removed by your surgeon and your smile and appearance should return to normal within a week or so.

Hi, It looks like you have an inverted V deformity from osteotomies. The right is worse than the left. This can be corrected with a revision rhinoplasty. It may require medial osteotomies and possible some soft tissue grafts. Best, Dr.S.

Hi, The answer is yes. However, every insurance plan is different, some require preauthorization with proof of fracture and some do not. The surgeon and check this for you. Best, Dr.S.
