How does the nose drop after the septum deviation surgery (septoplasty)?
Open technique nose tip lift surgery
The open technique nose lift is initiated with the "reverse wise incision" as it is with the normal open technique nose aesthetic operation, and if the previous remaining part of the nose septum is present, in the nose septum; If not available, the columellar strut graft is prepared to be placed at the tip of the nose using ribs or ear cartilages.
In this procedure, a cartilage graft is inserted between the inner legs of two alar cartilages, which are responsible for the essential shape of the nose tip, and the nose is directed forward. In fact, this graft placement on the tip of the nose can have multiple positive effects:
- nose tip lifting
- fixing of spreading at the tip of the nose when laughing
- Upward-forwarding of the tip of the nose leads to an increase in the angle of the nasal valve, the narrowest airway region between the nasal septum and the inner face of the nose wing, and a reduction in intranasal airway resistance.
The positive effects of this method are persistent (temporary nasal filling, unlike nose hanging methods). Breaking the placed cartilage graft without a trauma or changing the course is difficult. In patients with severe loss of support at the tip of the nose after a deviation surgery, it is inevitable for the patient to go downward at the tip of the nose and down at the tip of the nose due to gravity and mimic movements over time.

Nasal septum perforation repair surgery
The perforation in the nose of our patient, which is visible in the photograph, was closed using a cartilage graft obtained from the nasal cartilages and septum during open technique nasal surgery. It is seen before and 20 days after the photos below. In the area of the closed hole, white cartilage and healing mucosal area are seen.
