Augmentation Rhinoplasty / Septorhinoplasty

Augmentation rhinoplasty and augmentation septorhinoplasty are surgical procedures aimed at enhancing the size, shape, or projection of the nose. Augmentation Rhinoplasty refers to a surgical procedure designed to increase the size or projection of the nasal bridge, tip, or other areas of the nose to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial profile. Its benefits include enhanced facial balance and long-lasting results.

The most common type of augmentation rhinoplasty involves augmenting the nasal dorsum or bridge. This is often performed using cartilage grafts (such as septal, ear, or rib cartilage) or synthetic implants (like silicone or Gore-Tex) to build up the nasal profile. Some patients may seek augmentation of the nasal tip to enhance projection or definition. This can be achieved using cartilage grafts to reshape and support the nasal tip.

Patients with a flat or low nasal bridge may opt for dorsal augmentation to create a more pronounced profile. Augmentation can also be combined with hump reduction in cases where the nasal bridge needs both augmentation and reduction for optimal results.

Augmentation Septorhinoplasty refers to a procedure that combines functional correction of a deviated nasal septum (septoplasty) with aesthetic enhancement of the nasal shape through augmentation techniques. Septoplasty is performed to straighten and improve airflow through the nasal passages by correcting a deviated septum. Concurrently, aesthetic changes are made to enhance the nasal appearance, such as dorsal or tip augmentation using grafts or implants.

Patients experiencing nasal obstruction due to a deviated septum may benefit from septorhinoplasty to improve breathing. Those seeking both functional improvement and aesthetic enhancement of the nose may opt for augmentation septorhinoplasty.

Its benefits include comprehensive treatment, and improved nasal shape and function.
