Correcting a saddle nose \u2013 Reconstructing the bridge of the nose using rib cartilage or ear cartilage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A saddle nose refers to a depression in the bridge of the nose, causing the nose to appear flattened or sunken when viewed in profile. In addition to the aesthetic change, functional problems with nasal breathing may also occur. <\/p>\n

In modern nose surgery (rhinoplasty), a saddle nose can often be corrected by augmenting the bridge of the nose with the patient\u2019s own cartilage, particularly rib cartilage.<\/p>\n

This method allows for a stable and long-lasting reconstruction of the nasal structure.<\/p>\n

What is a saddle nose?<\/h3>\n

A saddle nose is characterized by a lack of sufficiently stable cartilage or bone structure in the middle of the nose. This results in a depression along the bridge of the nose, which is visible in profile. <\/p>\n

Typical characteristics include:
\n\u2022 a flattened or sunken nasal bridge
\n\u2022 changes in the nasal contour when viewed in profile
\n\u2022 sometimes instability of the nasal tip
\n\u2022 possible impairment of nasal breathing<\/p>\n

The severity can range from mild to severe, requiring significant reconstruction.<\/p>\n

Causes of a saddle nose<\/h3>\n

A saddle nose can have various causes.<\/p>\n

Common causes include:
\n\u2022 previous nasal surgery
\n\u2022 injuries or nasal trauma
\n\u2022 infections or inflammatory conditions
\n\u2022 congenital cartilage weakness
\n\u2022 in rare cases, autoimmune diseases<\/p>\n

Especially after previous rhinoplasty procedures, it can happen that too much cartilage was removed, causing the bridge of the nose to sink.<\/p>\n

How is a saddle nose corrected?<\/h3>\n

Treatment usually involves reconstructive nasal surgery.<\/p>\n

This procedure involves reconstructing the bridge of the nose in order to:
\n\u2022 restore the nose\u2019s natural shape
\n\u2022 improve the nose\u2019s stability
\n\u2022 support the tip of the nose
\n\u2022 stabilize the nasal septum<\/p>\n

Autologous cartilage is often used for this procedure.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Why rib cartilage is used in nasal bridge augmentation<\/h3>\n

In cases of a pronounced saddle nose, a larger amount of stable cartilage is often required.<\/p>\n

Rib cartilage is particularly well-suited for this purpose because it:
\n\u2022 provides sufficient material for nasal reconstruction
\n\u2022 is very strong and durable
\n\u2022 can be custom-shaped
\n\u2022 enables long-lasting results<\/p>\n

Using rib cartilage, the surgeon can precisely shape the bridge of the nose and reconstruct its original structure.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, cartilage from a sturdy ear or a graft from the nasal septum can be used.<\/h5>\n

How rib cartilage is harvested for rhinoplasty<\/h3>\n

The cartilage is harvested through a small incision in the lower chest area.<\/p>\n

Only a small portion of the rib is used, so the stability of the rib cage is preserved.<\/p>\n

The cartilage is then carefully shaped and inserted into the nose to rebuild the sunken bridge.<\/p>\n

Advantages of using the patient’s own cartilage in rhinoplasty<\/h3>\n

Many specialists in rhinoplasty and nasal reconstruction prefer to use the patient’s own cartilage rather than artificial implants.<\/p>\n

Advantages include:
\n\u2022 excellent tolerability
\n\u2022 low risk of infection
\n\u2022 minimal rejection reactions
\n\u2022 stable integration into the tissue
\n\u2022 natural sense of touch in the nose<\/p>\n

This often leads to long-term, stable, and natural results.<\/p>\n

Since it is the body\u2019s own tissue, the cartilage is generally very well tolerated.<\/p>\n

Customized Planning for Nasal Bump Correction<\/h3>\n

The treatment of a saddle nose requires a careful analysis of the nasal structure.<\/p>\n

The following factors, among others, are assessed:
\n\u2022 Stability of the cartilage and nasal septum
\n\u2022 Degree of depression of the nasal bridge
\n\u2022 Nasal breathing function
\n\u2022 Aesthetic proportions of the nose in relation to the face<\/p>\n

Based on this, a decision is made as to which reconstructive technique is best suited to achieve a natural-looking result<\/p>\n

As a rule, we use ear cartilage whenever possible, since rib cartilage can also cause the nose to collapse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
