There are several types of rhinoplasty options that can narrow the nose. A common procedure is to remove the cartilage from the base of your nostrils. This is known as alar basal resection. Your surgeon will advise you on the best way of removing the tissue. This can reduce the size of your nose in a number of ways. Continue reading to learn more about the rhinoplasty procedure. Read on for more information about cartilage and types of nose surgeries.
Reduced nasal hump
There are two main methods to reduce nasal muffles. Endonasal means that the cephalic tip of the septum is raised, exposing the peristeum. An external approach is made with an 11-bladed saw, which cuts through the nasal bones and septum. It preserves the nasal hump’s ULCs, which is an important advantage.
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, which are very low, allow the surgeon to lift nasal skin and 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 Nasal strut
A columellar-strut is a graft made from formed cartilage. It can be used to reduce the nose. This is used to stabilize the nose tip after open rhinoplasty. The strut, a piece cartilage that extends from your nasal base, is a part of the cartilage. It attaches directly to the septal articular, stabilizing the nose's base and allowing the nasal tip to grow properly.
Reconstruction of the alar cartilage using cartilage transplants
Alar cartilage reconstruction with cartilaginous, grafts can be an option to reshaping of the nose. Its versatility is evident in its potential as a spreader graft. It has been used in limited instances for these grafts but it has shown promise as an alternative dorsum graft. 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 sinus sphenoid with cartilage transplants
There are many benefits to reshaping the sphenoid nasal with cartilaginous transplants. This procedure can improve the aesthetic and functional results 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 you have noticed that your nose is narrow, you may want to consider other procedures. A septoplasty, or surgical process, will narrow your nostrils to improve your overall appearance. In this procedure, controlled cuts will be made in your nasal bones to reshape them and make them more prominent. This will restore the smooth, curved bridge of you nose. A septoplasty procedure can take several month to heal. You may resume normal activities immediately after your procedure.
