How Nose Surgery is Performed - Columella Strut Placement - Nose Job

http://www.rhinoplastyspecialist.com
Enter the operating room and see first-hand how nose surgery is performed and learn about each specific procedure with Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Specialist Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a distinguished facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon internationally known for his innovative surgical techniques and expertise in revision & ethnic rhinoplasty.

In this video you'll discover how a columella strut is carved from harvested cartilage. It is then placed between the medial crura of the tip cartilages and sutured in place elevating the natural cartilage to a higher level. This will provide essential support to the tip and increase the projection of the tip resulting in a more narrow nasal appearance.

Watch the experience of the patient who underwent this and many other procedures during her ethnic, or westernization, rhinoplasty at...

OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE:
A pocket down to the nasal spine was made between the medial crura and an extended columellar strut was placed and using 5-0 PDS, the strut was sutured to the medial crura with horizontal mattress sutures while suturing the intermediate crura to the strut which also helped project the nose.

@kimyin269 Hello,

During surgery, a tube helps the patient breathe. Thank you for the message.
