Cosmetic Purpose
Cosmetic correction of nose means correction of length of nose, depressed bridge of nose, wide tip and broad base of nose. All the mentioned defects can be corrected by cosmetic rhinoplasty by separate surgeries or together. Depressed bridge of nose is corrected by cartilage taken from nasal septum itself or ear cartilage or rib cartilage from the chest wall. Correction of wide nasal tip is called tipplasty, which is done by suturing alar cartilages together. Wide base is shortened by excision of wedge of skin and suturing. Short nose or long nose can be corrected by nasal framework rhinoplasty surgeries.
For correction of depressed bridge of nose in place of cartilage nowadays custom made silicone implants of different shape are available.
In all above mentioned nasal surgeries incision line is in hidden areas so that no scar line is visible from outside. |
