http://www.rhinoplastyspecialist.com
Enter the operating room with Rhinoplasty Specialist Dr. Paul Nassif, a world-renowned expert in revision & ethnic rhinoplasty, as he performs a Turbinate Reduction. His practice, Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology, is located in Beverly Hills, CA.
In anatomy, a nasal concha (or turbinate) is a long, narrow and curled bone shelf (shaped like an elongated sea-shell) which protrudes into the breathing passage of the nose. Turbinate bone refers to any of the scrolled spongy bones of the nasal passages in humans and other vertebrates. [1]
In humans, the turbinates divide the nasal airway into three groove-like air passages and are responsible for forcing inhaled air to flow in a steady, regular pattern around the largest possible surface of cilia and climate controlling tissue.
It can be performed under a general anesthetic or with local anesthetic. Incisions are made inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty). Sometimes, a tiny, inconspicuous incision is also made across the columella, the bit of skin that separates the nostrils (open rhinoplasty). The surgeon first separates soft tissues of the nose from the underlying structures, then reshapes the cartilage and bone. Most people remain at home for a week. If there are external sutures, they are usually removed 4 to 5 days after surgery. The external cast is removed at one week. If there are internal stents, they are usually removed at four days to two weeks. The periorbital bruising usually lasts two weeks. Due to wound healing, there are minor and subtle shifting and settling of the nose over the first year.
In some cases, the surgeon may shape a small piece of the patient’s own cartilage or bone to strengthen or change the structure of the nose. Usually the cartilage is harvested from the septum although if there isn’t enough which can often occur in revision rhinoplasty, cartilage can be taken from the concha of the ear or rarely the ribs. In the rare case, again usually revision rhinoplasty, where bone is required, it is harvested from the cranium or ribs. Sometimes a synthetic implant may be used to reconstruct the nose. This is most common when augmenting the bridge of Asian noses.
