There are many ways to narrow your nose. One common procedure is to remove cartilage from the base or nostrils. It's called alar base removal. The best way to get rid of the tissue is determined by your surgeon. This can reduce the size of your nose in a number of ways. Read on to learn more about rhinoplasty. Learn more about cartilage transplants and the various types of nose resections.
Reduction of the nasal hump
There are two main options for nasal hump relief. An endonasal method involves raising the cephalic end and exposing 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 for the columellar incision in rhinoplasty are placed on the inside of the nostrils and extend through the columella, the central pole of the nose. These incisions allow the surgeon lift the nasal skin to expose the underlying nasal structures. This incision permits the surgeon to completely alter the three components of the nose, the tip, the Turbinates, as well as the alar base.
Formed cartilage in 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 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
The alternative to reshaping your nose is the reconstruction of alar cartilage using cartilaginous transplants. 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 could help correct inverted "V", as well as improve the flow of airway for people with internal nose valve deformities. It was also tested in Caucasian patients with bulbous tip.
Reconstruction of the sphenoid Sinus with cartilage Grafts
The benefits of a sphenoid reconstruction using cartilaginous and grafts are numerous. This procedure can enhance the cosmetic and functional outcome of the nose. It is a reliable procedure, and it may improve cosmetic outcomes for a wide range 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. To improve your appearance, a septoplasty (or surgical procedure) will reduce the size of your nostrils. This procedure involves controlled cutting of your nasal bones to reshape the shape and make them more prominent. This will restore your nose's natural curve. Recovery can take several months after septoplasty. You can resume your normal activities after the procedure.
