Special Asymmetrical Nostril Correction

Use columellar strut and WINGS alar rim lowering

Give a solution to not only nostrils asymmetry but also nasal congestion, and may provide a treatment for congenital deformities such as cleft lip.

What is Special Asymmetrical Nostril Correction?

The nasal septal cartilage and the lower lateral cartilage are the two parts of the nasal tip that impact the appearance of the nostrils. Asymmetric nostrils will occur if this area is crooked, broken or lost.

The causes of nostrils asymmetry include facial asymmetry, crooked nose, congenital deformities, and side-effects of the rhinoplasty. However, there is only one principal for asymmetry correction, which is to correct the asymmetric lower lateral cartilages and deviated nasal septum.

Straighten the nasal septum, the axis of the internal nose, and make a strong cartilage strut at the nasal columella, and then fix the lower lateral cartilages symmetrically through rearrangement.

Nostril Correction?

Surgical Method of 3D Asymmetrical Nostril Correction

Correct uneven nostrils by rearranging
the lower lateral cartilages

Because the lower lateral cartilage has a three-dimensional structure, asymmetric nostrils will look uneven from not only the bottom but also the front. That’s why it is necessary to rearrange the lower lateral cartilages by alar rim lowering.

Rearrange the cartilages by intercartilaginous graft to correct uneven nostrils

In case of correcting uneven nostrils through rearrangement of lower lateral alar cartilages, it is necessary to lower the nostrils by intercartilaginous graft, in order to strongly lower and stabilize the lower lateral cartilages.

Together with the two principals of nasal septum correction, lower lateral cartilages rearrangement and reshaping of nostril skins will ensure a more complete correction of asymmetrical nostril. This technique provides excellent result in case of complicated asymmetric nostrils, eg. contractred nose or cleft lip.

It’s B’s Asymmetrical Nostril Correction,

1. An asymmetrical nostril correction that applies the techniques of tip supporting strut and WINGS alar rim lowering that were developed by Dr. Jang.

2. Can correct difficult asymmetric nostrils with consideration the balance of overall face.

3. Double effect of correcting asymmetry and solving nasal congestion problem all in once.

4. 3D CT and precise nasal endoscope that enable exact cause diagnosis.
