Saddle Nose Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
A saddle nose deformity is characterized by a noticeable depression or collapse of the nasal bridge, resulting in a flattened appearance of the midsection of the nose. It can be caused by trauma, prior nasal surgeries, congenital defects, or certain medical conditions. Saddle nose surgery, or nasal reconstruction, is a specialized procedure that restores the structure, shape, and function of the nose, providing both aesthetic and functional improvement.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, our experienced surgeons are experts in complex nasal reconstruction. We are committed to delivering natural, balanced results while ensuring optimal nasal function and breathing.
Why Choose Saddle Nose Surgery?
Patients seek saddle nose correction for a variety of reasons, including:
- Restoring nasal height and profile
- Correcting breathing difficulties associated with nasal collapse
- Repairing deformities from previous surgeries or trauma
- Rebuilding nasal symmetry and proportion
- Boosting self-confidence and improving facial harmony
We focus on creating customized solutions to help you regain both appearance and comfort.
Customized Approach to Your Saddle Nose Surgery
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, every saddle nose correction procedure is tailored to meet the specific needs and nasal anatomy of the patient.
Common Surgical Techniques Include:
- Cartilage Grafting: Using autologous cartilage (usually from the septum, ear, or rib) to rebuild the nasal bridge and restore height.
- Structural Rhinoplasty: Reconstructing the nasal framework to improve both function and shape.
- Alloplastic Implants: In certain cases, synthetic implants may be used if natural graft material is not available or suitable.
- Revision Rhinoplasty: For patients seeking correction of prior unsuccessful rhinoplasty procedures.
During your consultation, we will thoroughly evaluate your nasal structure and recommend the best approach to achieve your desired results.
Consultation and Planning
Your journey at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic begins with a comprehensive consultation to understand your concerns and expectations.
During the consultation, we will:
- Examine your nasal structure and skin quality
- Discuss your history of nasal trauma or previous surgeries
- Review realistic expectations and surgical options
- Show before-and-after photos of similar patient cases
- Answer all your questions about the procedure, recovery, and risks
We believe in honest communication and detailed planning to ensure the best possible outcome.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Saddle nose surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and is considered a complex, reconstructive rhinoplasty.
Surgical Steps:
- Incision Placement: Incisions are usually hidden inside the nostrils or placed across the columella (open rhinoplasty approach).
- Cartilage or Implant Placement: The graft or implant is carefully positioned to rebuild and support the nasal bridge.
- Structural Adjustments: Additional corrections may be made to improve airflow and enhance overall nasal shape.
- Closure: Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and external nasal splints may be applied for support.
The surgery typically takes 2 to 4 hours, and patients can usually return home the same day under specific care instructions.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery following saddle nose surgery requires patience and close monitoring to ensure proper healing.
You will be advised to:
- Wear an external nasal splint for the first 7 to 10 days
- Avoid strenuous activities and contact sports for at least 4 to 6 weeks
- Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling
- Attend all follow-up appointments for monitoring and adjustment
- Follow all post-operative instructions provided by our team
Swelling and bruising will gradually subside over several weeks, with final results becoming visible over several months.
