Definition of Pollybeak Deformity

A nasal image similar to that of a parrot's beak may appear when the natural proportions of these two regions deteriorate after nasal surgery. This deformity, which is caused by the supratip area being ahead of the nose tip area, is called "Polly Beak Deformity" or "Pollybeak Deformity". This deformity can occur due to more than one cause.
Causes of Pollybeak Deformity
The most common cause is inadequate resection from the supratip region. So the beak nose deformity is a complication of a nasal aesthetic. In addition to being insufficiently taken during surgery, it may also be due to the growth of the extreme wound healing tissues that may occur in the suprathep region, leading to the growth to the front. In this case, re-operation of this region can be sufficient for treatment. Especially in patients with thick skin, after the nasal aesthetic surgery, excessive healing texture (scar tissue) may develop in the supratip region and this appearance of parrot-like beak may occur.
Another cause of the beak nose deformity may be nasal tip collapse. When the nasal region is farther behind than the supratipal region, a buccal nasal deformity can occur again.
The surplus in the Supratip region pushes the tip of the nose down, causing the "tip" region to rotate downward. This deformity is also known as "parrot beak deformity" or "supratip fullness".
Classification of Pollybeak Deformity
According to their causes, the beak nose deformity can be classified as follows:
1. Cartilaginous pollybeak deformities (cartilaginous polly beak)
- Supratip area leading to excessive resection from the nasal bone
- Supratip area leading to incomplete resection of supratpic area
- Type zone behind due to excessive resection of lower lateral cartilage (loss of nasal support)
2. Soft tissue pollybeak deformities (Soft-tissue polly beak)
- Excessive soft touch in the supratip region during recovery period due to improper bandage of the supratip area or due to skin properties
- Extreme thickening of the nasal and supratiptic skin
- unsuitable resection in vestibular mucosa
- Excessive scar tissue in the supratip region In the beak
nose deformity, in fact, the physician who performed the nasal aesthetic is also mistaken; Swelling during surgery, hiding this deformity, and replacing the supratip area with scar tissue in the post-operative period, revealing this deformity.
Patients with beak nose deformities often complain of the most complaints "beak appearance". If the nasal support is also weak; This appearance can be exaggerated when you are laughing.
Treatment of Pollybeak Deformity

In patients with deformities classified as "soft-tissue polly beak", steroid injection and long time nose taping may be recommended in the supratip region (I do not like the use of close-up cortisone injections because of side effects ...).
