There are many options for narrowing the nose. Common procedures include removing cartilage at or near the base of the nostrils. The best way to remove the tissue will be determined by your plastic surgeon. This procedure can narrow the nose in a variety of ways. To learn more about rhinoplasty procedures, read on! Read on for more information about cartilage and types of nose surgeries.
Reduction of the nasal hump
There are two main ways to reduce nasal hump. An endonasal approach involves lifting the cephalic septum's end, and exposing its periosteum. An external approach involves the use of an 11-bladed scissors, transecting the nasal bones, the septum, and the upper lateral cartilages. It preserves the nasal hump’s ULCs, which is an important advantage.
Columellar incision
The incisions for the columellar rhinoplasty incision are made on the inside of your nostrils. They extend through the columella (the central pole of your nose) and into the nostrils. These incisions allow the surgeon lift the nasal skin to expose the underlying nasal structures. This incision allows for the complete removal of three components of the nose: the tip, turbinates and the base.
Formed cartilage is visible from the nasal strut
A columellar-strut is a graft made from formed cartilage. It can be used to reduce the nose. A surgeon uses it to stabilize the nasal tip after an open rhinoplasty procedure. The strut, a piece cartilage that extends from your nasal base, is a part of the cartilage. It is attached to septal cartilage. This helps stabilize the nose base and allows for proper projection of the nasal tip.
Reconstruction of alar cartilage with cartilage grafts
Reconstruction of cartilaginous cartilage is an alternative to the reshaping nose. Its versatility is apparent in its potential to be used as a spreader. Although it is only used for spreading grafts, some patients have also found it to be a good dorsum donor. This alternative might be helpful in preventing or correcting an inverted V deformity and may also improve the flow of nasal airways for those who have internal nasal valve deformities. It was also tested in Caucasian patients with bulbous tip.
Reconstruction and grafting of cartilage to the sphenoid nasal.
The benefits of a sphenoid reconstruction using cartilaginous and grafts are numerous. This procedure can improve both the cosmetic and functional outcomes of the nose. It is a reliable procedure and may improve cosmetic results for a wide range of patients. It can improve the appearance or symmetry of a small bony structure in the back of your nose called the sphenoid.
Other options available for nose narrowing
If your nose has become narrower, it may be time to consider other options. A septoplasty, which is a surgical procedure, will tighten your nostrils. It can improve your overall appearance. Controlled cuts will be made to your nasal bones in order to reshape or make them more prominent. This will restore your nose's smooth curve. The recovery period after septoplasty can take several months. The procedure will allow you to resume your daily activities.
