Understanding Rhinoplasty or ‘nose job’, changing the shape of the nose, short nose, saddle nose, long nose, hump nose, bulbous tip, Dr Alexander George, plastic surgeon, India, Cosmetic surgeon, India, cochin, kochi, kerala +.
Rhinoplasty or ‘nose job’ as it
is commonly referred to, is a surgical procedure done to treat deformities in
the nose. One needs to understand the anatomy or basic structure of the nose to
comprehend what a Rhinoplasty or ‘nose job’ can do.
The nose is made up of three
basic tissues-
a)
skin
b)
cartilage
c)
bone
These tissues are arranged in
an inverted ‘v’ shaped manner- forming our nose. Internally the nose is divided
by a partition called the septum into the left and right nasal cavities. Most
of the procedures done on the nose manipulate or change the size and shape of
these three structures to get the nose one desires. The skin provides the outer
envelope in which the cartilage and the bone is embedded and protects these
structures. Within the nose, the skin is replaced by the mucosa, as happens in
all internal structures like the lining of our intestines. The bones form a
rigid support in the upper part of the nose where is appears to flow down the
forehead. The cartilages form the middle and lower part of the nose. The septum
has both cartilage and bone support. Thus if the tip is broad then the
structures underneath it that is the cartilage must be modified to give a
sharper tip. If the dorsum is humped then some bone or cartilage may be taken
off to give it a straight dorsum. If the nostrils are flared or wide then some
skin needs to be modified to make the nostril smaller and so on…
The picture shown above shows our
nose and the manner in which it is made up off.A simple line diagram is also shown to understand the structure of the nose.
