Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
What's the healing process like for getting tip projection with only a columellar strut? Is swellin
Columella strut and nasal tip support
Oct 5, 2020
A columella strut is used to give tip support and prevent the tip from falling so much during smiling. To obtain projection, a tip graft is placed on the domes or tip cartilage angle. Osteotomy's are the most traumatic event while performing a rhinoplasty but when necessary to give the best results should be performed.
Is it possible to harvest rib cartilage from the left?
Failed rib cartilage revision rhinoplasty
Oct 5, 2020
To answer your question, yes cartilage can be taken from the left side if the right side was used and it is determined that there is not sufficient cartilage remaining on the right side. But, I think that is highly unlikely. More importantly is can your skin on your nose withstand another surgical elevation without permanently changing or hurting the skin. Only your revision rhinoplasty doctor can help you determine that.
What's the best approach for wider tip and larger nostrils (surgery or no surgery)?
Wide nasal tip and nostrils
Sep 22, 2020
First of all I'm a surgeon and I perform surgery for these concerns all the time. These are separate diagnosis. One is an amorphous poorly defined nasal tip secondary to spreading tip cartilages and poor tip supports. The other is flarring and elongated soft tissue nostrils or alla. The tip is addressed first. It is stabilized and defined as you desire. The nostrils are addressed conservatively because the process is not reversible. Depends on what you want aesthetically.
What type of procedure could I get and would it be possible to achieve what I want?
Distinct nose
Sep 21, 2020
All noses are different and yet they can be grouped in some ways. The process is really determined by your diagnosis and what you want your nose to look like. Your nasal bridge is low and wide. It can be thinned and elevated if you want. Your tip is round, amorphous and ptotic. It can be strengthened and shaped to have more definition and not collapse when you smile. Then we determine how to handle the nostrils. Pretty straight forward. I've been performing this specific type of rhinoplasty...
Am I good candidate for a lip lift?
Surgical lip lift
Sep 17, 2020
There are two areas where an upper lip lift incision can be made. One under the nose, subnasali and the other along the upper lip mucous membrane skin border called the vermillion border. The most common way it's performed today is under the nose. This accomplishes two things. One it reduces the philtrum and skin between the nose and lip and the second it produces more pink lip show on the upper lip. You are a great candidate for a subnasali lip lift procedure but be conservative.
Why does my nose grow back after every single rhinoplasty (3)?
Tip falling after rhinoplasty
Sep 14, 2020
The structure between your nostrils is called your columella, Everyones nasal tip falls as we age because the columella cannot hold the tip up. It sounds like no tip support was added to your nose after your revision rhinoplasty. Sounds like a columella strut should have been placed. I inset one on almost every revision rhinoplasty I do.
How to solve uneven, bulbous nose?
Rounded asymmetric nasal tip
Jul 6, 2020
The lower one third of the nose is made up of two cartilages which form the nasal tip. The structure between the two nostrils is called the columella. The tip is shaped like an arch. The columella cannot hold the tip of the nose up, especially when you smile. Therefore the tip falls and gets rounder. This gets worse as you age. A tip rhinoplasty would support the tip with a columella strut and make the tip cartilages more symmetric. I do these cases at least 5 times per week. Go get a...
African American Rhinoplasty. What are my options?
Smiling and nasal tip falling
Jul 2, 2020
It's all about architecture or the lack there of. The structure between your nostrils, the columella cannot hold the tip of your nose up because of weak cartilage. The tip, which is shaped like an arch gets pulled closer to the face and falls some. This is called tip ptosis and causes the tip to round out. Until your tip is supported with a columella strut, surgically the nasal tip will fall. This only gets worse with age.
If I constantly wear a headband for a month or more, will my ears naturally go closer to my head? O
Wearing a headband to make your ears not stick out so much
Jul 2, 2020
If you are trying to get your ears to stay back on your head permanently by wearing a head band then the answer is, no this won't work. We regularly treat children, newborns, who are born with ear shape deformities. If these infants have contouring compressive dressings applied within the first six weeks of life, I can get the shape of their ears to permanently change to a normal shape. Once you are older than a few months old you will require surgery, Otoplasty to contour your ears to a...
Septorhinoplasty Mid 2019. I am not happy with the outcome. Should I consider a revision Would it a
Revision rhinoplasty
Jun 23, 2020
You said the bridge of your nose was lowered and the breathing is great. It is not uncommon to lose tip support when the nasal dorsum is unroofed during your primary rhinoplasty. Because the tip is shaped like an arch, as it sets back, it rounds out. Sounds like you need tip support re-established. Maybe a columella strut and/or tip graft. This will give you better tip definition.
Is it dangerous to go under general anesthesia (for another surgery) during a rhinoplasty recovery?
Anesthesia after rhinoplasty
Jun 22, 2020
Several thoughts. Only have anesthesia if your doctor says it's required. Talk to the anesthesiologist also. You should be medically cleared by you family MD or internist. There is no basic inherent increased risk with anesthesia after rhinoplasty. Be sure your doctors know you had a recent rhinoplasty. Remind them at the time of surgery. Anesthesiologist like to put masks on patients faces and this could affect you recent nasal bone work.
What should I do to fix my uneven nostrils after rhinoplasty?
Uneven nostrils after rhinoplasty
Jun 17, 2020
This is a difficult situation because you have already had three procedures on your nose and you are not healed from your last procedure. You need to wait six more months to totally heal. Then you need an evaluation by a surgeon who regularly performs revision rhinoplasty. A correct diagnosis must be made. Then an accurate treatment plan established. Can what you want be achieved without risking your present result. Only an in person evaluation can establish that.
What's your advice on cartilage in form of a bump on my nose?
Bump on the nose after rhinoplasty
Jun 17, 2020
You have a mid nasal dorsal fullness after rhinoplasty. This is probably residual septal or upper lateral cartilage. The problem with steroid injections is that it will take down the soft tissue around the bump and base relief the fullness out. Make it more apparent. Injectable fillers above and below the bump may help or the cartilage bump may have to be resected at surgery.
Do I have chin ptosis? What are my options for fixing it?
Chin position
May 14, 2020
Interesting question. Ptosis is specific, meaning to fall. Your chin tends to fall during smiling. The muscles are pulling it down during activation. Because you are young, a conservative approach should be considered. First consider an injection with a neuromodulator like Xeomin or Botox. This will reduce the muscle pull. The most you would consider is a conservative chin augmentation with an implant. See a surgeon who does this procedure regularly
Scar tissue after rhinoplasty - can it be removed and will it grow back?
Scar tissue and primary rhinoplasty
May 9, 2020
Scar tissue formation after surgery is the natural and normal way the body heals. After rhinoplasty, what we don't want is aggressive thickened scar tissue formation. This is controlled after surgery with compression, taping of the nose and conservative injections, over months with dilute steroids and 5FU. Retained strong residual architecture, cartilage and bone is required. The surgeon can't cut out too much structure. That's why I perform Reduction Structured Rhinoplasty not just Red...
