Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
What are my options for caudal septum deviation?
Caudal septum deviation repair
Jan 19, 2022
It is possible to straighten your caudal septum deviation to improve the symmetry of your nostrils. It is also possible to address this alone and leave the rest of your nose as is if you prefer.

Without examining inside your nose it is hard to say what method of treatment is best for your situation. If the caudal septum deviation only includes the very outer edge then one could consider trimming that small portion, but in my experience these types of deviations extend a bit further back to...

Am I candidate for a Rhinoplasty? I am afraid it will look unnatural as I don't want a very alte
Conservative rhinoplasty goals
Jan 11, 2022
A great way to start the process of finding the best rhinoplasty for you would be to review various surgeons' before and after photos to get a better idea of their aesthetic. This should help you get an idea whether they tend to only go for drastic changes (this may be their patients' goal) or if they can also do more of a finesse rhinoplasty.

Additionally, I find that the digital simulations that I do with my patients during the consultation process is very helpful in making sure that...

Is Septorhinoplasty safe if you have a heart condition?
Having septorhinoplasty with a heart condition
Dec 14, 2021
You'd want to get clearance to have septorhinoplasty by your cardiologist as that's their area of expertise.

It is possible to have surgery in a hospital setting if that's what is recommended. I have privileges to operating in both Seattle area surgery centers and hospitals, for example.

What happens to the collapsed upper lateral cartilage when spreader grafts are placed?
What happens to Upper Lateral Cartilages after spreader grafting
Oct 3, 2021
Since the spreader grafting is placed between the upper lateral cartilage and septum the upper lateral cartilages will be moved further away from the midline (laterally) after spreader grafting. Sutures are used to secure the newly positioned upper lateral cartilages to the spreader graft and septum so it won't move out of place.
You can learn more about spreader grafting at my web reference link below.
Can you do a revision rhino without op reports from 1st? Is it possible to have a positive revis
Are prior operative reports required before revision surgery
Jul 9, 2021
Having prior operative notes are very helpful before doing revision rhinoplasty, but they aren't required.

It can be difficult to procure these outside records, especially if they're from many years ago.

You'll want to ensure that your revision rhinoplasty surgeon has extensive experience and can adapt the plan depending on what is found during surgery.

Would my nose be a difficult case for rhinoplasty?
More elegant profile with rhinoplasty
Apr 7, 2021
Yes, I can see how your profile could be refined with rhinoplasty surgery. This could create a less full bridge on side view. Besides your upper bridge bump you also have an area of fullness in your supra tip region (the area just above your tip) that could also be addressed at the same time.

Rhinoplasty can be done at the same time as turbinate reduction if you like.

You can learn more about bridge refinement (and see before and after photo examples) at my web reference link below.

What is a functional rhinoplasty?
What Is Functional Rhinoplasty
Mar 20, 2021
The goal of functional rhinoplasty is to improve nasal breathing/airflow. I prefer using this term to imply that nasal valve repair is being performed. This can also potentially involve more complicated septum reconstruction.

A simple septoplasty isn't normally considered a functional rhinoplasty.

The functional rhinoplasty term also indicates that there isn't a cosmetic component, though it is common to perform both functional rhinoplasty and cosmetic rhinoplasty concurrently in patients...

Does ENT perform rhinoplasty or should I ask for a referral?
Whos should perform rhinoplasty along with breathing surgery
Feb 17, 2021
Most general Ear Nose Throat doctors don't perform rhinoplasty. It is very common to have both cosmetic rhinoplasty done at the same time as nasal breathing improvement surgery like you're looking to do.
You could find a facial plastic surgeon who is board certified in both ENT and facial plastic surgery who would be able to treat both issues.
Is there a limit to how much you can narrow the bridge in an osteotomy?
Limit to amount of bride narrowing
Nov 16, 2020
Yes, there are limitations as to how much bone narrowing can be done with osteotomies. I find that performing medial, lateral and intermediate osteotomies can help in maximizing how much narrowing is possible when someone has extreme baseline bone width.

We don't normally remove any nasal bridge skin, but plan on having it shrink wrap over the new underlying bone position.

You can learn about nasal bridge narrowing at my web reference link below.

Does endoscopic septoplasty involve less side effects than non-endoscopic septoplasty?
Endoscopic septoplasty
Nov 9, 2020
Endoscopic septoplasty is not a common or standard approach to perform septum surgery. In my experience using an endoscope for septum surgery is not normally needed and doesn't reduce the side effects to the procedure.
The endoscope is a small telescope that gives the surgeon a magnified view inside the nose and is typically used with sinus surgery, but since the septum can be worked on with just a headlight and speculum we don't normally need an endoscope. In either case an incision would...
Is it harmful to get a second septoplasty one year later?
Second septoplasty timing
Nov 1, 2020
A standard septoplasty on its own wouldn't be expected to make your external nose straighter, so if that's a concern you'd likely need a rhinoplasty.

Without examining your nose it's hard for me to say what would need to be done to improve your congestion symptoms. A large perforation can contribute to feeling congestion, but there may be other issues going on that would better address your symptoms.

You've waited long enough at this point that I wouldn't expect further waiting to change...

Would it be possible to get my nose straight with surgery? Would it be a complicated case? (phot
Options to straighten a crooked nose
Nov 1, 2020
Thanks for your question regarding your crooked nose. I can certainly see how your nose tilts quite a bit to your right. This is something that can be improved with a septorhinoplasty surgery. It's very hard to get it perfectly straight but it should be possible to improve the positioning overall.

The question of whether the surgery is worth it is really a decision for you to make. Your crookedness is quite significant so if this bothers you I suspect that straightening your nose would be...

Will my nose piercing close after deviated septum surgery?
Nose piercing after deviated septum surgery
Oct 27, 2020
A standard septoplasty where the incisions are hidden inside the nose shouldn't affect your nose piercing if the piercing is through your outer nostril. You should confirm with your surgeon that a standard septoplasty is all that would be needed, though.
Can I restore my original nose?
Removing bridge rib graft
Sep 14, 2020
It's hard to say whether your bridge would return to it's original appearance after removing your bridge rib graft.
The main consideration is how well your skin would shrink wrap back down over the underlying bone. This varies depending on your skin thickness and age.
I suspect that if you don't like the large appearance, removing the graft would be a good way to lessen that issue.
Is this something that can be fixed with rhinoplasty? Crooked columella
Crooked columella treatment
Aug 31, 2020
Yes, I can see from your photos how your columella is deviated to your left side.
This is commonly due to a deviation of the septum in that area.
Septorhinoplasty surgery can be used to correct the septum position and improve the columella symmetry.
You can learn more about this type of treatment at my web reference link below.
