Long, wide nose with wide, drooping tip on thick skin
Rhinoplasty on a long, wide nose with wide, drooping tip on thick skin, by Dr. Gerbault:
- Refining an overall wide and long nose with a rather thick skin is one of the most difficult things to succeed in rhinoplasty. The nasal bones must be accurately reshaped to make the bone pyramid narrower without pinching it. In this case, the bony cartilaginous junction is very prominent, making a marked hump on the oblique views.
- The cartilages of a wide and drooping tip should not be weakened when the skin is thick, otherwise they will create a polly beak difformity. A good tip support is then essential to refine the tip and prevent it from droping when smiling or over time.
- Structural ultrasonic rhinoplasty allows this precise reshaping without compromising bone and cartilage stability, even strengthening the latter thanks to the buried grafts support.
- At 6 days, no bruises, just a little edema. At more than 3 months, the refinement is already clear from the front and profile. The nose is shorter and the tip remains well-supported.
Wide nose, significant hump, and droopy tip
Ethnic rhinoplasty on wide nose, by Dr. Gerbault:
- Young woman coming from the Arabic peninsula with a wide nose, a significant hump, and a droopy tip. The skin is thick as it’s usually on those type of noses.
- An ultrasonic rhinoplasty has been performed to refine globally the nose and improve the tip definition. The tip support with a septal extension graft allows to lift securely the tip and to refine it.
- The result is shown at one year post-op, which is the minimal time to achieve a result close to the final result.
Wide nostrils and plunging tip
- Having long and wide nostrils with a plunging tip when smiling creates easily complex. This young woman didn’t want to change significantly her nose, but just correct those defects.
- She had an ultrasonic structural rhinoplasty, with an ultrasonic rhinosculpture of her bony vault and tip reshaping with cartilaginous sutures. The alae have been also reduced.
- The result is shown at 3 months postop.
