do I have an open roof deformity? How can this be fixed?
Answer: Treatment for an open roof deformity To confirm the presence of an open roof deformity requires a physical examination and palpation of the bridge line. It appears that there may be an open roof deformity along with wide nasal bones. Medial and lateral osteotomies of the nasal bones can close the open roof and narrow the bridge line. For many examples of narrowing a wide nose with osteotomies, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Open roof deformity Based on the photographs it is not possible to make the deduction that there is open roof deformity. However there is a possibility of early open roof deformity that is showing. This would need to be corrected if it gets worse by using either grafts to camouflage it or completing the osteotomies and bringing the side nasal bones together.RegardsDr. J

Answer: Do I have an open roof deformity post rhinoplasty? You definitely have visible irregularities which are consistent with an osteotomy that has not healed properly. Without an examination, it would not be possible to know whether you have an open roof, or bony fragments that need to be smoothed out. You do have a suggestion of an inverted V deformity, although again, an in person examination would be helpful. In any case you would benefit from a revision rhinoplasty, which could be as simple as rasping the irregularities ( often can be done as an office procedure), or more complex with osteotomies, and the need for cartilage grafting. .

Answer: Depending on your examination, the indentations in your upper bridge after rhinoplasty may be filled. Your nasal profile appears nice. If you are satisfied with the width of your bridge on front view, the irregularities seen on your upper bridge maybe filled with microdroplet Silikon-1000 for permanent results.If you're looking for a narrower appearance of your nasal bridge, repeat osteotomies may be considered.Hope this helps you.Dr Joseph

Answer: Broad and flat It appears from your photograph that you do.... slightly irregular nasal bones centrally combined with a broad/flat appearance and inverted 'v' deformity add up to a slightly foreshortened nose which lacks dorsal lines.... dorsal lines are the holy grail in rhinoplasty for achieving elegant results and eliminating distracting dorsal imperfectionsafter dorsal resections, dorsal lines are achieved and open roof/inverted 'v' deformities are ameliorated by meticulous infracture of nasal bones, placement of spreader grafts and proper handling of upper lateral cartilagesModern, nondestructive, anatomical rhinoplasty techniques are more sophisticated than they were years ago. In the minds of modern rhinoplasty experts, these characteristics (beyond appropriate training/credentials) are tantamount to achieving consistently excellent rhinoplasty/revision rhinoplasty results:1. many years of rhinoplasty practice experience2. judgment and techniques that have evolved over time3. a practice focused on rhinoplasty 4. a willingness to do difficult, secondary and reconstructive cases5. an interest in teaching others how to evaluate and do rhinoplasty properly6. a willingness to share one's rhinoplasty resume, photos and patient experiences with prospective patientsgood luck
