Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Surgeon’s Correction of the Pinched Nose Deformity
There are two means of correcting the pinched nose deformity. Noses looked pinched or overdone because two much cartilage was taken out of the tip at the original surgery. And, there are a few people who are born with this deformity. In the case of the latter, the cartilages at the tip of the nose instead of being convex are concave.
The solution is identical. Either cartilage is grafted or transplanted from either inside the nose or from the ear and placed underneath the skin over the existing cartilage or the pinch is corrected by incremental filling injections.
The decision whether or not to have surgery performed or use filling injections, which is an office procedure, must be made after a thorough analysis. If breathing is an issue and there are other deformities of the nose which cannot be corrected by filling injections, then surgery is indicated although often even after surgery, the filling injections are helpful to achieve an optimal result.
I am very pleased with liquid silicone which is the permanent filling injection material. On the cover of my book, SECRETS OF A BEVERLY HILLS COSMETIC SURGEON, you will see a young man who had very severe pinching on the left side of the nose. While part of this overall unsatisfactory look was a deviated septum and poorly performed rhinoplasty previously, it was necessary to use filling injections on the left side. The result speaks for itself. Liquid silicone is permanent but must be injected gradually over a period of several months because it cannot be easily removed.
