Procedure: This surgery is done under local or general anaesthesia. No external incision is given.
Incision is hidden inside the nose. This allows access to reshape underlying cartilage and/or bone. This may include lowering humps, narrowing of nasal bones, shaping of the nasal tip or nostril size and improving the angle between the nose and the upper cartilages. In cases of depressed nasal bridge, augmentation is done using various autogenously or synthetic material. Autogenously materials are bone, nasal cartilage, cartilage from ear. Bone can be taken from iliac crest, scalp, ribs etc. Synthetic materials are silicone or Porex. Type of material used for augmentation of nose depends on surgeons and or patients choice. Standard victim is autogenous material is superior over synthetic material. Although debates goes on.
