Understanding Nasal Anatomy

Nasal anatomy plays a significant role in correcting the nose with rhinoplasty. The nose is a complex structure made up of bone, cartilage, and soft tissues. The nose consists of the dorsum, which is the length of the nose, and the nasal tip. The nose is categorized into two different parts. One is the upper part that consists of bone and the lower part of the nose is composed of cartilage.

The nose has two nostrils that are separated by a wall which is composed of bone and cartilage. The main function of the nostrils is to support airflow. It occurs for several reasons, such as congenital factors, trauma or injury, aging, infectious conditions, medical conditions, and environmental factors. Knowledge of nasal anatomy contributes to diagnosing nose irregularities and providing surgical treatment. It solves breathing issues, enhances the sense of smell, and protects the respiratory tract from foreign agents.

Types of Nose Irregularities

The nose irregularities affect the functionality of the nose and facial appearance. It has a greater impact on the different parts of the nose, bridges, and nose tip. It happens due to birth defects, injuries, and certain medical conditions. Here are the different types of nose irregularities that can be bothersome:

1. Dorsal Hump: It is one of the nose irregularities that can be easily noticeable. The bump is made up of either bone/cartilage or both. An individual experiences a bump along the bridge of the nose. It occurs due to a congenital injury that causes difficulties with airflow. It affects the confidence and self-esteem of the person. Rhinoplasty known for the nose job corrects this issue by removing the dorsal hump and smoothing the surface. It can also be treated by reducing the size of the hump without affecting functionality and balancing the nasal structure.

2. Deviated Septum: Deviated septum is a nose irregularity that happens when the nasal passages are displaced, leading to the disappearance of the nasal passage. It causes one nasal passage to be bigger than the other passage affecting breathing and frequent sinus infections. Rhinoplasty positions the septum and balances the nasal passage.

3. Nasal Tips Irregularities: Nasal tip irregularities include bulbous tips, droopy tips, or asymmetry that needs nose surgery to improve their irregularities. An excess of cartilage or thick skin at the nasal tip leads to the bulbous tips. A droopy tip occurs due to weakened or damaged cartilage.

4. Wide or Asymmetrical Nostrils: Nostrils are wide or imbalanced due to genetic factors or injuries affecting the aesthetic appearance and functionality of the nose. The base reduction makes it symmetrical.

5. Saddle Nose Deformities: Saddle nose deformities refer to the visible dip or damage along the bridge of the nose, leading to pain and discomfort. Rhinoplasty manages this condition by reconstruction of the nose using cartilage grafts.

6. Nasal Valve Collapse: The nasal valve supports airflow through the narrowest part of the nasal passage. The nasal valve damage results in the obstruction of airflow. Nose surgery restores the nasal valve and improves its functionality.

Rhinoplasty Techniques for Correcting Irregularities

The rhinoplasty techniques are performed by skilled and board-certified surgeons by evaluating the extent of nose irregularities, type of irregularities, and the patient’s preferences and goals. Here are several rhinoplasty techniques designed to alter the shape, size, and functionality of the nose. It also plays a significant role in the field of cosmetics. Open and closed are two primary rhinoplasty techniques to reconstruct the shape of the nose.

1. Open Rhinoplasty: Open rhinoplasty can be performed in severe cases such as deviated Septum or saddle nose deformities by opening up the columella, the tissue between the nostrils. The skilled surgeon makes a cut across the columella to see a clear nasal structure. It makes it easier to perform surgery and corrects the shape of the nose.

2. Closed Rhinoplasty: The surgeon performed the closed rhinoplasty with minimal scars and high precision within the nostrils. This technique is used for mild cases such as smoothening a dorsal hump or refinement of the nasal tip.

3. Septoplasty: Septoplasty is the surgical nose treatment that occurs in the deviated septum. It can be corrected by straightening the septum.
