Can a pinched nose be corrected with revision rhinoplasty?

Pinched nose is not only displeasing but can also result in the obstruction of nasal airflow at the internal nasal valve. Correction of a pinched nose by revision rhinoplasty requires reinforcing the alar cartilage support structure of the nasal tip by adding nasal cartilage grafts, harvested either from the septum or the ear cartilage.

What does it mean when your nose is pinched?

Pinched Nasal Tip. A pinched nasal tip refers to a nose that is excessively narrowed in the region of the tip. This type of nasal abnormality can arise as a congenital problem – meaning the patient was born with this – or as a result of having had prior unsuccessful rhinoplasty surgery.

How does a rhinoplasty restore the nasal tip?

With precise placement and positioning of the cartilage graft, a rhinoplasty surgeon can carefully ‘pull’ the collapsed, lower lateral cartilage outward. Think of a bird spreading their wings. This type of meticulous cartilage grafting can restore a more esthetically ideal contour to the nasal tip and mitigate unwanted shadowing.

What makes up the tip of the nose?

The tip of the nose is normally comprised of the paired lower lateral cartilages along with the lower portion of the septum. In reality, the lower lateral cartilages are the structures that more directly contribute to the shape of the nasal tip.
