There are several types of rhinoplasty options that can narrow the nose. One common procedure is to remove cartilage from the base or nostrils. It's called alar base removal. Your plastic surgeon will determine the best way to remove the tissue. This procedure can narrow the nose in a variety of ways. Continue reading to learn more about the rhinoplasty procedure. You can also read about cartilage grafts, and different types of nose surgery.
Nasal hump reduction
There are two main methods to reduce nasal muffles. 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. The main advantage of this method is the preservation of all ULCs of the nasal mucus.
Columellar incision
The columellar incisions in rhinoplasty are made on the inner nostrils. They reach through the columella, which is the central pole in the nose. 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 in 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 piece of cartilage that extends from the nasal base. It is attached to septal cartilage. This helps stabilize the nose base and allows for proper projection of the nasal tip.
Reconstruction of the alar cartilage using cartilage transplants
Reconstruction of cartilaginous cartilage is an alternative to the reshaping nose. It is a spreader-graft graft that proves its versatility. 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 help to correct or prevent inverted "V", deformities and improve airflow for people with internal nasal vail deformities. It has been tested on Caucasian patients who have bulbous tips.
Reconstruction of the sinus sphenoid with cartilage transplants
The advantages of reconstructing the sphenoid sinus with cartilaginous-grafts include: This procedure can enhance the cosmetic and functional outcome of the nose. This is a safe procedure that can improve the cosmetic outcomes for many patients. It can improve the appearance of the sphenoid, a tiny bony structure located at the back end of the nose.
Other methods 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. Your nasal bones will be reshaped and made more prominent by controlled cuts. This will restore your nose's smooth curve. A septoplasty procedure can take several month to heal. After the procedure, you may resume normal activities.
