Rhino Plasty Report

Answer:

Yes, there are patients who reach this situation especially if the fracture is really bad.  But there are also bad cases of fractures that were still fixed.  Each patient with broken nose is evaluated individually.

Can you still fix my nose if it has been broken for three times already?

Answer:

In most cases, yes, noses that have been fractured for three times can still be fixed.  This is the usual case for athletes where their noses are broken multiple times.  Although each case has to be evaluated individually, generally, nasal bones can be fractures for up to 5 times and still can be repaired.

I have a very bulbous nasal tip.  What do you do with it during rhinoplasty?  Do you remove tissue?

Answer:

The normal procedure the rhinoplasty surgeons take is to first examine your nose and advice you on what technique they feel will be best for your case.  For a bulbous nasal tip, two techniques can be done: cephalic resection or suture technique.  Your rhinoplasty surgeon should discuss to you the technique that he plans to use during the operation and why he feels that technique is the best for your condition.

What do you do to make the shape and size of the nose symmetrical with the face?

Answer:

You should choose a rhinoplasty surgeon that is not only well-informed about he science of the rhinoplasty operation but also the art of the operation.  The aesthetic part of the procedure is as important as the science of it.  To achieve a symmetrical look, the rhinoplasty surgeon should evaluate not only the size and shape of the nose but also how the nose relates with the different parts of the face such as the chin and cheeks.
