Want to get rid of chronically stuffy or crooked nose?

Nose is one of the most important parts of the human face and plays a considerable role in a person's appearance. Its complex structure consists of bone, skin, cartilage, nerves and blood vessels.

Functionally, it plays a very critical role in breathing and assists our sense of smell. Not true for everyone, but in some cases, apparent nasal problems may cause internal defects, which in turn block the airways.

To correct the several kinds of apparent disorders of the nose, rhinoplasty has proven the efficient nasal treatment. In this surgical approach, nose plastic surgeon in New York City tries to create more proportion and harmony between nose and the other facial features of the patient.

There are several techniques of nasal surgery that may be used to get rid of chronically stuffy or crooked nose. These are: primary rhinoplasty (‘open’ & ‘closed’), secondary (revision) and filler rhinoplasty.

A brief explanation of each of the aforementioned steps of this procedure is given below:

• 1. Open surgery: In this technique, cosmetic surgeons make tiny incisions in the vertical strip of the skin separating nostrils (called columella). To view the inner structure of this feature and perform reshaping, the skin and the tissues are lifted up by the nose surgeon.
• 2. Close surgery: During this procedure, incisions are made by the doctors within the nasal structure. With the help of medical instruments, they separate the skin of the nose from the bone and the cartilage. The exposed bone can be augmented, reshaped, rearranged or removed to get the nose that forms symmetry according to the rest of the facial features.
• 3. Secondary nasal procedure: Also known as revision rhinoplasty, the secondary nasal procedure is performed to fix the problems that develop or persist as a result of previous job. These problems can be minor enough to be corrected easily or can be major enough to make the secondary procedure more complicated, risky and costly.
• 4. Filler technique: This approach involves the use of inject able fillers (such as Juvederm and Restylane) to change the angle of the nasal tip, restore symmetry and to fill depressions in order to make your nasal feature more attractive. This is a non-surgical approach and results are not permanent.
