Patient Reasons to Opt for Rhinoplasty

Patients can desire to undergo rhinoplasty for a wide variety of reasons. They can range from correction of deformities arising from congenital conditions like cleft lip and palate deformity, nasal deformities caused by trauma or simply cosmetic correction to get the ideal nasal structure.

Classification of Common Nasal Deformities requiring Cosmetic Nasal Surgery

There are a wide variety of nasal deformities. They include a flat nose with a flattened bridge and an extremely wide nose with large nostrils. It could also present as a short nose or an elongated nose. There could be deformities of the tip of the nose like in a parrot beak nose or a crooked nose deformity amongst many others.

Cartilage grafts harvested from the patient are used for the correction of a wide variety of nasal deformities. These grafts are used to augment the bridge of the nose to correct a flat nose, straighten the dorsum of a crooked nose or correct an asymmetrical nose. The nasal cartilages are also trimmed to provide the best possible cosmetic results from the surgery.

Surgery for Broad Nose Correction and Long Nose Correction

Patients who present for this surgery often have nostrils that are excessively wide and reduce the cosmetic appeal of the face. There is also a flattened appearance to the nose due to this deformity. This is corrected by augmentation of the nasal bridge with a graft followed by reduction of nasal width through excision of excess tissue. Longnose correction is obtained by excision of the nasal cartilages to create a nose that is in harmony with the patient’s face.

Correction of Nasal Hump Deformity and Crooked Nose Deformity

Some patients present with a dorsal nasal hump, which reduces the attractiveness of the nose. There is a hump in the nasal bone in these patients. Surgery is performed through the reduction of this nasal hump to straighten the dorsum of the nose. There is a dramatic improvement in appearance following this surgery.

Crooked nose deformity is most often congenital or caused by trauma to the nose. Patients with this deformity are often self-conscious about their appearance and often have breathing difficulties caused by a deviation from the nasal septum. Correction of this deformity often results in a dramatic improvement to their overall quality of life.

Parrot Beak Deformity Correction for Enhanced Facial Esthetics

A parrot beak deformity or Polly beak nose is often characterized by a dorsal hump and a low tip. Its structure resembles that of the upper beak of a parrot. This is mainly a cosmetic procedure. They state that they wish to undergo plastic surgery at the time of presentation. Patients with this nasal appearance are often dissatisfied with their nasal appearance for a long time before presented for corrective surgery.

Though this can be a complicated surgery, the best rhinoplasty surgeon in India who is often vastly experienced in performing such surgeries performs closed rhinoplasty procedures for optimal esthetic results for the patient.
