There are several different types of rhinoplasty procedures that can narrow the nose. Alar base resection, which is a common procedure, involves the removal of cartilage at the base and tip of the nostrils. Your surgeon will advise you on the best way of removing the tissue. The procedure can be used to narrow the nose in many ways. To learn more about rhinoplasty procedures, read on! Continue reading to learn about cartilage Grafts and other types of nose surgery.
Reduction of the nasal hump
There are two main ways to reduce nasal hump. An endonasal approach entails elevating the cephalic end of the septum, exposing the periosteum. An external approach is made with an 11-bladed saw, which cuts through the nasal bones and septum. This technique has the important advantage that it preserves all of the ULCs in the nasal hump.
Columellar incision
Incisions to perform rhinoplasty's columellar procedure are made inside the nostrils. These incisions extend through the center pole of the nose, the columella. These incisions are low and allow the surgeon to lift the nasal skin envelope to expose the underlying nasal structures. This incision can be used to alter all three parts of the nose: the tip and the turbinates.
Formed cartilage is visible from the nasal strut
A columellar strap, or a graft using formed cartilage, can narrow a nasal. The strut is used by surgeons to stabilize the nasal tip during open rhinoplasty procedures. The strut is a small piece of cartilage that extends beyond the nasal base. It attaches with the septal cartilage to stabilize the base of the nose. The nasal tip can then project properly.
Reconstruction and grafting of cartilage to the alar cartilage
Reconstruction of cartilaginous cartilage is an alternative to the reshaping nose. Its versatility is evident in its potential as a spreader graft. Although it is not recommended for use with these grafts in large numbers, some patients have reported that it can be used as a dorsum transplant. This alternative may be beneficial in preventing or correcting inverted "V" deformity, as well as improving airway flow for those with internal nasal valve deformities. It has been tested on Caucasian patients who have bulbous tips.
Reconstruction and grafting of cartilage to the sphenoid nasal.
Reconstruction of the sphenoid sinus with cartilaginous grafts has several advantages. This procedure can improve the aesthetic and functional results of the nose. This is a safe procedure that can improve the cosmetic outcomes for many patients. It can enhance the appearance and symmetry the sphenoid nasal, which is a small bony structure that runs behind the nose.
Other procedures for nose narrowing
If you have noticed that your nose is narrow, you may want to consider other procedures. For a more attractive appearance, you may consider a septoplasty. This is essentially a surgical procedure that narrows your nostrils. In this procedure, controlled cuts will be made in your nasal bones to reshape them and make them more prominent. This will allow you to restore your smooth and curved nose bridge. A septoplasty procedure can take several month to heal. You may resume normal activities immediately after your procedure.
