  • Rhinoplasty - Trauma to the Nose

    Rhinoplasty - Trauma to the Nose
    Trauma to the nose can cause a variety of issues. It can cause a bump to form - where there's bone cells that go in to repair a fractured nose - so you're adding more bone cells because the bone is trying to close the gap where the fracture is that creates a hump because that's a growth center in the nose. Trauma to the nose can cause a dorsal hump but trauma to the nose can also cause a displaced nasal fracture where the both nasal bones one or both are crooked, it can cause the upper lateral cartilages in the mid portion of the nose to become inverted or depressed or concave on one usually on one side. Trauma to the nose can also cause a deviated septum that's the dividing line on the inside of the nose that for air flow and when you get hit in the nose it it creates a deviation that deviation is then blocking airflow. There's a lot of things that can happen when you get your nose broken or trauma to the nose from a variety of different issues.

  • How to Straighten a Crooked Nose thru Rhinoplasty

    Rhinoplasty  - How to Straighten a Crooked Nose
    The crooked nose itself is usually there's three components if you will to the nose first you have the on the top of the nose is the nasal bones that's what gets fractured the nasal bones become fractured and displaced and we have to reset those in a more straighter and narrower position with osteotomies placed in those nasal bones in the mid portion of the nose that's more of a flexible cartilage called the upper lateral cartilages and when you have a crooked nose usually one side is concave and the other one is convex so we'll have to add a spreader graft underneath the concave upper lateral cartilage to straighten the mid portion if the nasal tip cartilages are crooked and asymmetric then sometimes what we'll do is we'll take if one side's a little higher we'll take a little cartilage off of one side and add that cartilage to the lower side to balance out the nasal tip cartilages themselves.

  • Rhinoplasty For A Dorsal Hump

    Shaving Down the Dorsal Hump

    A surgical nose surgery is frequently chosen to remove the dorsal hump.
    The majority of dorsal humps are made up of roughly two thirds cartilage and one third bone, however this can vary considerably depending on a person's morphology.
    To get rid of the hump, it needs to be reduced in size.
    In order to correct the open roof (flat-top) nasal deformity caused by the removal of the hump, osteotomies must be performed in the nasal bones.
    The most frequent justification for nasal contouring is the dorsal hump.

    A rhinoplasty, also known as a "nose job," is a cosmetic plastic surgery technique used to reshape the nose and improve other facial features.
    In our medical practice, it is the most frequently carried out procedure.
    Our board-certified facial plastic surgeon aims to create a very natural appearance by balancing the new nose with the other facial features and the components of the face as a whole.
    The majority of plastic surgeons concur that many undesired characteristics can be altered.
    A dorsal hump (bump) can be removed, a large, boxy nasal tip can be refined, and a crooked, possibly fractured, nasal tip can be narrowed if it is too wide.
    Functional breathing issues can be treated concurrently with cosmetic surgery if they exist.

  • Revision Rhinoplasty

    The goal of revision rhinoplasty is to further enhance the nose's aesthetics by performing a second surgery on the nasal anatomy and structure.
    Along with the skin soft tissue envelope and nasal septum, the nose is made up of 2 nasal bones, 2 upper lateral cartilages, and 2 lower lateral cartilages.
    Making the necessary adjustments to the nose during a revision rhinoplasty results in a very natural-looking outcome for the patient.
    Revision
    Due to the presence of scar tissue and previous changes to the architecture of the nose, rhinoplasty is far more difficult than a primary rhinoplasty.
    The surgeon frequently does not notice those modifications until the treatment is carried out.
    Before placing this patient under general anesthesia and giving them a surgical plan, skilled rhinoplasty surgeons typically have one in place.

    Patients who need to have one or both of their nasal bones that have strayed outward after a previous procedure straightened or narrowed using osteotomies may have a revision rhinoplasty.
    A slight dorsal hump that some individuals still have can be reduced with a rasp.
    The most frequent irregularity after a primary rhinoplasty treatment, particularly in patients with thin skin, is the inconsistencies across the bridge line, which can be made of either cartilage or bone.
    Spreader grafts are put under the concave upper lateral cartilage in patients with an inverted V deformity or concave upper lateral cartilages in the middle of the nose.
    For patients who have an inverted V deformity or who merely have a crooked nose, spreader grafts may need to be applied to both sides of the nose.
    After a rhinoplasty treatment, the nasal tip cartilages may be asymmetric, hence cartilage grafting procedures are used either as an onlay graft or sutured onto the tip cartilages.
    With suture procedures applied to the lower lateral cartilages of the nose tip, which decrease the breadth of the tip, a residually bulbous nasal tip is minimized.
    The nose's tip has thick skin and a lot of scar tissue, which prevents the tip's breadth from being significantly reduced.
    An alar rim graft is done on individuals who have alar rim collapse to correct the anatomy there and stop the nasal rim from collapsing during inspiration.
    A hanging columella is another obvious indication that one has undergone rhinoplasty.
    A columella that hangs down makes the nose appear "bottom heavy."
    Incisions must be made on either side of the interior portion of the nose, and the extra cartilage and skin in that region must be removed, in order to decrease a hanging columella.
    In addition, depending on where the skin and cartilage are removed, the tip of the nose can be twisted either upwards or downwards.
    When broad nostrils remain after a primary rhinoplasty, an alar-plasty is done.
    A wedge of skin at the base of the nostrils is removed during an alar-plasty in order to narrow them.

    Depending on the plastic surgeon preference, revision rhinoplasty can be performed using either an open or closed rhinoplasty method.
    In a closed rhinoplasty procedure, all incisions are made on the interior of the nose to allow access to the tip, bridge, and nasal bones for the necessary adjustments.

The thing I like most about being a facial plastic surgeon is making happy people happier.

When I shave that hump down and give her a beautiful nose she tends to just blossom with self-confidence and for me that makes my day. I've performed thousands of facial cosmetic surgery procedures on both men and women from age 16 - 86 - face and neck lifts forehead lifts rhinoplasty eyelid surgery and cheek and chin implants. We have over a thousand photographs on our website demonstrating the quality of our work. I'm so pleased and happy for them the day we take their cast off it is a new day.

  • Rhinoplasty in Seattle - Everett WA

    With this surgical process, the nose will be reshaped to the patient's specifications and needs while maintaining a natural appearance.

    After injuries and fractures, breathing issues, unhappiness with looks, or a combination of these factors, this can be done to improve nasal appearance, function, and balance.
    There are several methods for performing rhinoplasty, including making incisions on both the inside and outside of the nose.

    In rhinoplasty, the "hump" on top of the nose may be reduced, the nose may be made narrower or wider, the projection may be increased, the "tip" may be altered, or other objectives may be pursued. The nasal septum may occasionally be "deviated," and this can be altered or straightened. Your nasal appearance will be scrutinized, with special focus on the upper, middle, and lower portions.

    Any previous nasal conditions or medications you are taking, as well as any prior nasal treatments you have had, if any, should be brought up with your Seattle plastic surgeon.
    It is advised that you have several consultations with your rhinoplasty surgeon before the procedure to carefully create a strategy that is ideal for you.


    What to anticipate
    Your board-certified surgeon, as well as your anesthesiologist or anesthetist, will confer with you before starting your medical operation. Typical procedures entail making a tiny incision on the skin below your nose. The cartilage and internal tissues of your nose can be changed from this incision and other incisions made within your nose utilizing reduction and augmentation procedures to carry out a plan developed by you and your Seattle surgeon.
    Sometimes rib or ear cartilage can be beneficial, but often the septum and nasal tissues are used.


    The healing process: Nasal packs are occasionally required and are taken out in the office 1-2 days after your rhinoplasty procedure. Sometimes it is essential to wear an external splint made to fit your nose, which may be made in the operating room by one of our doctors and removed after a week or two. After rhinoplasty, often known as a nose job, there may be some swelling and bruising that lasts for several months but usually goes away within a few weeks.
