Revision Rhinoplasty Operation For Treatment of Drooping Columella + Alar Collapse
The patient, who had undergone rhinoplasty in a different country 2 years ago, applied to our clinic because of nasal deformity and breathing problems. As a result of the examination of the patient, the following findings were found:
- drooping columella
- left nasal septal deviation
- weak nasal wing cartilages on the left, collapse observed while breathing (nasal valve collapse, alar collapse)
- asymmetry in the nostrils
- overprojected nose tip
- deviated nasal bone to the right
We planned an open technique secondary rhinoplasty operation for the patient. During the operation, The tongue-in-groove (TIG) techniquetechnique and septocolumellar suture technique were used to correct the drooping columella for upward movement of the columella.
