Rhinoplasty is easy to understand

Nose surgery (rhinoplasty) is one of the most requested cosmetic procedures for men and women in plastic surgery. The importance of the nose and its importance to the appearance of the face is the need for a rhinoplasty be very precise. Good results in rhinoplasty are dependent on understanding the complex framework of bone and cartilage that make up the nose. Rhinoplasty alters the shape of the frame, as shown by the underlying skin.

Think of your nose like a house. The shingles are the skin overlying the frame and timber are the cartilage and bone, and dry the nasal mucosa. The septum supports the highest corner of the roof of the nose. (Cartilage) What makes someone’s nose as he looks like a house, is a reflection of how the framework is structured, and the roof (the skin), the curtains on this framework. As plastic surgeons we believe the nose four areas, the upper third of the bone in the middle of 3.1, as the vaults of average size, all the cartilage that is currently known, and the lower third or the end of nose, a combination of scroll-shaped cartilage, which is along the wall and what gives each end of its unique shape. (This is the difference between two people) The fourth area is the skin, which depends on its thickness, the underlying framework can be good if it is thin, but hide a lot from him, whether it is big show.

If we change the nose, we change the nature of the framework (bones and cartilage) are interconnected, and taken into consideration. Several structures can be modified to change the outward appearance, noting that the roof line (get rid of this barrier is effective), above the nose is narrower, the lower walls bones, the refinement of the tip through it rescuplting form scrolls roofline cartilage or even the fact by adding implants or cartilage.

Because of the complexity of how these support structures are assembled, which operate most of the nose is now ‘open’. During the open rhinoplasty is used to controversy, it is now the most common type rhinoplasty is performed today. AOpen approach simply means that the skin of the nose up on the head if its anatomy can be seen directly. Unsurprisingly, you can better shape what you see better. The result is an almost invisible scar in the middle of the strip of skin between the nostrils. (Known as the columella) This is a very small price to pay for a rhinoplasty best results!
