Saddle nose correction

Correction of saddle nose is a challenging issue. The technique varies according to the severity of saddle and septum status. Slight depression of the dorsum with intact septal support is mostly corrected with dorsal onlay graft. When the septal support is poor and sadlde is severe, the septum needs reinforcement so that dorsal graft does not distort or sink. Reinforcing the septum includes batten graft, spreader graft, and septal extension graft. Rarely, subtotal or total septal reconstruction or replacement is necessary. When septum reinforcement is necessary, rib cartilage is the best choice. Due to its ample amount and rigidity, autologous rib cartilage is the best graft material for most moderate to severe deformity patients.

Deviated & hump nose correction

This lady in below photos had nasal deviation, hump nose, and tip ptosis with breathing difficulty. Septum was corrected first, and this made the lower 2/3 of the nose straight. Hump was not resected but rasped with Piezotome and this did not breach the keystone area, which made spreader grafts unnecessary.Bilateral osteotomies with Piezotome made her bone straight. Together with septum correction and effective osteotomies, her nose became straight from the frontal view. Tip was modified with sutures and onlay graft only. No strut or septal extension graft was used and this made the tip soft even after considerable amount of rotation and projection increase. Radix was augmented with bruised cartilage. Overall, she could breath much better after surgery and her nose became more harmonious and feminine.

Creating more feminine nose

The lady in below photos visited my clinic for rhinoplasty. She wanted to have more feminine nose instead of her muscline nose. She had a long nose with slight bump on the dorsum, overprojected, slightly bulbous and droopy tip, and slighly wide dorsum. Surgery was focused on creating more feminine look: hump removal, narrowing the bony dorsum with osteotomies, tip volume reduction, decreasing tip projection, and slight cephalic rotation. Photos taken 2 weeks after surgery (because she returnd back to her country after surgery) shows changes on the dorsum and the tip. Dorsum became slender with creation of smooth brow-tip aesthetic line. Tip was refined with volume reduction, slight underprojection, and cephalic rotation. Although the changes are not radical, her nose looks more feminine.
