Hello,
I'm Nakao from the Plastic Surgery Department.
Today we'll be discussing revision rhinoplasty cases.
This man underwent septal extension surgery at another hospital, but
Because it didn't turn out to be the ideal nose tip
We performed the revision surgery at our hospital.
Repeat the nasal septum extension using costal cartilage
The cartilage at the tip of the nose (the alar cartilage)
Inner leg and
Outer leg
Reinforced.
The inner leg, in particular, is the part that forms the cartilaginous column at the tip of the nose.
How strong this is, and how to make it stronger
It's the nerve to hold your nose high.
This pillar is weak and has a bulbous nose.
There are many Japanese people.
In this case, the patient also achieved a pointed nasal tip by adding cartilage reinforcement to the nasal septum extension.
Even if you stack cartilage to raise the tip of the nose
It feels kind of dull, so...
After building a solid foundation
It's better to refine the tip of the nose.
I think it looks natural and gives off a sharp, captivating vibe.
