About Saddle nose/nasal deformity/rhinoplasty

Understand the condition, common triggers and treatment options that may require specialist assessment.

Disease Introduction

Saddle nose refers to a sunken or collapsed nasal bridge, often accompanied by nasal septum developmental abnormalities, nasal deformities caused by trauma or infection, affecting facial three-dimensionality and aesthetics; rhinoplasty corrects a low nasal bridge and reshapes the nasal tip and alar shape through implants or autologous cartilage, improving the nasal contour and function.


Cutting-edge high-precision diagnostic and treatment technologies

1. Autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty : The nasal tip and columella are built using autologous rib cartilage. The nasal tip structure is reshaped using fan-shaped or musical note-shaped support grafts. The results are stable and long-lasting, with no rejection. It is suitable for complex nasal deformities such as short nose and saddle nose. It is not easy to deform in the long term and has no rejection.
2. 3D-printed custom implants : Based on image data, virtual surgical planning is carried out and personalized nasal dorsum implants are 3D printed to fit the individual's bony nasal dorsum, achieving precise and controllable, bilaterally symmetrical nasal dorsum elevation, with more predictable results, fitting the individual's bony nasal dorsum, elevating the nasal dorsum, and achieving symmetrical and beautiful results.
3. Preservative rhinoplasty : While correcting nasal bridge collapse, it repairs and preserves the nasal cartilage and ligament structure, taking into account both appearance and ventilation function. Implants and half-rib or full-rib cartilage can be used flexibly in combination to reduce postoperative complications, taking into account both appearance and nasal ventilation function, and reducing complications.
4. Closed-structure rhinoplasty : Structural nasal framework reconstruction using septal extension grafts and other methods via a closed incision. The framework is stable, the nasal tip is effectively lengthened, there are no obvious external incisions, and the recovery is faster. It is suitable for the correction of moderate saddle nose and short nose deformities, resulting in a more harmonious and beautiful nasal shape.
5. Endoscopic-assisted rhinoplasty : Endoscopic-assisted harvesting of autologous cartilage such as the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone provides a clear field of vision and minimally invasive and precise material harvesting; complex nasal deformities or defects are repaired in stages using forehead expansion flaps to reconstruct the nasal shape and nasal ventilation function, improve appearance, and reconstruct nasal shape and ventilation.
