Causes & Risk Factors

Primary Causes & Etiology

Congenital nasal bone and alar cartilage asymmetry
Nasal trauma / sports fracture
Developmental septal deviation

Who is at Higher Risk?

Individuals seeking cosmetic nasal refinement or functional breathing improvement

Diagnostic Evaluation & Testing

Diagnostic Test	Clinical Purpose / What It Shows
3D Vectra Morphometric Simulation & Rhinomanometry	Simulates postoperative nasal profile and quantifies nasal airway resistance
CT Paranasal Sinuses & Nasal Endoscopy	Evaluates internal nasal valve, turbinates, and septal spur deviation

Trans-columellar incision, piezo-electric ultrasonic osteotomy, spreader grafting, and tip cartilage suturing.

Key Advantages:

Precise sub-millimeter nasal tip shaping and dorsal hump reduction

Restores unobstructed breathing

Long-term structural graft stability

Closed Preservation Rhinoplasty

Endonasal incisions preserving dorsal skin-cartilage vault.

Recommended For:
