http://www.rhinoplastyspecialist.comrnEnter 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 world-renowned expert in revision & ethnic rhinoplasty. rnrnIn this video you\'ll discover how a Septoplasty procedure is performed and learn why it is an important part of an overall rhinoplasty plastic surgery procedure. rnrnThe nasal cavity is divided into two halves by a partition made of cartilage and bone, called the nasal septum. The two halves are the nostrils. In as many as 80% of all people, the nasal cavity is not divided equally. When this occurs, it is called a deviated septum. For most people, this imperfection does not cause any problems, but for some, it can lead to difficulty in breathing and even chronic sinus infections.rnrnSymptoms vary from person to person, depending upon the severity of the deviation. Some only experience symptoms when they have a cold or other respiratory infection, and symptoms are usually worse on one side of the nose than the other. Symptoms include:rn1. Blockage of one or both nostrilsrn2. Nasal congestionrn3. Frequent nosebleedsrn4. Frequent or chronic sinus infectionsrn5. Sinus painrnrnThe only way to correct a deviated septum is through surgery. A septoplasty is usually performed on an out-patient basis, with either general or local anesthesia, and usually takes 1-1 1/2 hours. This procedure is performed entirely through the nostrils, and if it is the only procedure performed, it does not cause any bruising or swelling following surgery. A septoplasty can also be performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty.rnrnWatch the experience of the patient who underwent this and many other procedures during her ethnic, or westernization, rhinoplasty at... rnhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QobQdRapPfsrnrnDr. Nassif\'s practice, Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery, is located in  Beverly Hills, CA.rnhttp://www.spaldingplasticsurgery.comrnrnOPERATIVE TECHNIQUE:rnThe septum was infiltrated with 3.0 cc of 1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 Epinephrine.   Pledgets soaked in pontocaine and 1:1,000 Epinephrine were placed in the nasal cavity. A left hemi-transfixion incision was made and the mucoperichondrium was elevated on the left side of the incision and extended to beyond the junction of the bony & cartilaginous septum and the mucoperiosteum was elevated. The septum was disarticulated from the bony septum and the contralateral mucoperiosteal flap was then elevated off the bony septum.  Takahashi forceps were then used to remove the deviated bony septum.  For the spur, a 4 mm osteotome was used to remove it. A strip of cartilage along the floor up to the anterior nasal spine was removed allowing a swinging door septum to be created. The septum was midline after this maneuver. No opposing bilateral perforations were identified. Septal cartilage was harvested for grafting for the rhinoplasty leaving approximately 10 mm of septal support at the anterior and caudal septum. The incision was then closed with a running 4-0 chromic.  rnrnVideo Produced by Spore Medical,rnhttp://www.sporemedical.com

Nassif, a  distinguished facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon internationally known for his innovative surgical techniques and expertise in revision & ethnic rhinoplasty.rnrnIn this video you\'ll discover how Plumping grafts are a helpful technique in correcting a retracted or acute nasolabial angle. The nasolabial angle is the angle formed by the labial surface of the upper lip at the midline and the inferior border of the nose. It is a measure of the relative protrusion of the upper lip.rnrnIdeally, the angle between the upper lip and the nose should be between 90-105 degrees in women, and between 90-95 degrees in men. When this angle is smaller than 90 degrees, it gives the appearance that the tip of the nose is drooping and it can also make the individual seem older than their age.rnrnCorrection of this angle with Plumping grafts involves placing bits of the patients own natural cartilage beneath the skin into the lower columella at the base of the nasolabial angle. This can produce cephalic rotation and illusory increased tip projection. rnrnWatch the experience of the patient who underwent this and many other procedures during her ethnic, or westernization, rhinoplasty at... rnhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QobQdRapPfsrnrnDr. Nassif\'s practice, Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery, is located in  Beverly Hills, CA.rnhttp://www.spaldingplasticsurgery.comrnrnOPERATIVE TECHNIQUE:rnA 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.

The shield graft was fixated to the intermediate crura and dome and a bruised onlay graft and columellar onlay graft were placed caudal to the shield graft with 5-0 PDS horizontal mattress sutures.

Nassif, a  distinguished facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon internationally known for his innovative surgical techniques and expertise in revision & ethnic rhinoplasty.rnrnIn this video you\'ll discover how the patients own natural cartilage and fascia is used to build-up, or augment, the nasal dorsum, also known as the bridge of the nose, increasing it\'s height which makes the nose appear less wide.rnrnMany different materials are used to elevate the bridge of the nose. The main decision that the surgeon makes is whether to use natural materials taken from the patient or whether to use one of the artificial materials that are safe to place in the nose.  rnrnThe most common natural material is cartilage, which can be taken from the nasal septum, or from the ear, or from a rib.  The location from which the cartilage is taken depends mostly on how much cartilage is needed.  If a very large graft is required, rib will be used.  The nasal septum or the ear can serve as a source of cartilage for smaller grafts.rnrnWatch the experience of the patient who underwent this and many other procedures during her ethnic, or westernization, rhinoplasty at... rnhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QobQdRapPfsrnrnDr. Nassif\'s practice, Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery, is located in  Beverly Hills, CA.rnhttp://www.spaldingplasticsurgery.comrnrnOPERATIVE TECHNIQUE:rnBruised conchal cartilage wrapped in temporalis fascia was placed as an onlay dorsal graft from the radix (approx 4 -5mm) to the supratip (approx 3 mm) region.

http://www.rhinoplastyspecialist.com This is my plastic surgery before and after story as I have a closed (endonasal) rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills, CA. My sister had a rhinoplasty procedure before me that left her with undesirable results. Learning from her experience, I did my research and chose one of the Top Rhinoplasty Specialists in the world, Dr. Paul S. Nassif, to perform my surgery.  rnrnClosed rhinoplasty refers to procedures in which the incisions are confined to the inside of the nose. Open rhinoplasty refers to procedures in which an additional small incision is made between the nostrils on the underside of the nose. Closed rhinoplasty results in no visible scarring while open rhinoplasty results in a well-concealed, fine-line scar.rnrnAs a patient, you wonder why this is happening to me. You wonder why do I need a revision rhinoplasty 9 months following my initial nose surgery. You wonder why everything looked great and the next thing you notice is pinched nostrils and progressive nasal obstruction. Well, you are not alone. Whether its the result of aggressive surgery or scar contracture with the healing process, unfortunately this problem is not that rare. Nationally, approximately 5 12% of patients that undergo rhinoplasty need a revision of some kind, whether it is major or minor. Even in the hands of the best rhinoplasty surgeons across the country, the need for revision sometimes occurs. Without a doubt, revision rhinoplasty surgery is the most challenging procedure that we, Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeons, perform.rnrnAnother important detail is to ascertain if you have nasal obstruction. I will determine if the nasal obstruction was present preoperatively. If the obstruction is a result of the surgery, a number of questions need to be answered. Did you have reductive rhinoplasty surgery? I will have you point out where the obstruction is. Is it static or dynamic? Present with normal or deep inspiration? What alleviates and worsens the nasal obstruction? What are the characteristics of the nasal obstruction? Was septal surgery performed? With these important questions answered I am now ready to perform the physical examination.rnrnMany procedures were performed on Luisa\'s nose including: 1. Septoplasty & Septal Battan Graft, 2. Turbinoplasty, 3. Closed Rhinoplasty - Exposing Nasal Anatomy, 4. Removal of Bony-Cartilaginous Dorsal Hump, 5. Columella Strut Placement, 6. Bruised Infratip Lobular Graft, 7. Osteotomies, 8. Spreader Grafts & 9. Closed Rhinoplasty - Closure of Intercartilaginous & Hemitransfixion Incisions.http://www.spaldingplasticsurgery.comrnrnVideo Produced by SPORE Medical http://www.sporemedical.com
