Plastic columella

The harmony and attractiveness of a human face is largely dependent on the size and shape of the nose, which is its central element. Therefore, one of the most popular plastic surgeries is rhinoplasty - the correction of congenital or acquired nose defects. The shape of the nose largely depends on the columella, which is successfully corrected in our clinic in Poltava at an affordable cost.

What is columella rhinoplasty?

Columella (column, column) of the nose is a soft skin bridge between the nostrils. The nose looks aesthetically pleasing when it is below the levels of its wings. Columella also supports the tip of the nose and forms the lumen of the nostrils for natural breathing.

The small columella is enlarged by transplanting the patient's cartilage tissue by suturing the medial legs of the wing cartilage. And too overhanging is reduced by partial excision of nearby tissues. The operation can be performed in conjunction with the correction of the tip of the nose, which will give a more pronounced aesthetic effect. This is confirmed by the reviews of patients.

In what cases is surgery indicated and contraindicated?

Indications:

• excessively high or low position of the bow column;
• incorrect nasolabial angle;
• flattened or very wide column shape;
• "Hanging columella";
• jumper curve.

Of all the indications, only the last one is medical. The rest are made solely for aesthetic reasons.

When the operation cannot be performed:

• dental problems;
• blood clotting pathology;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• cancer;
• diabetes;
• SARS and other infections;
• inflammation in the area of ​​intervention;
• severe pathologies of the nose.

It also clarifies the answer to the question - how much does it cost to change the column in this case and the entry for the operation is carried out.

Preparatory measures and course of intervention

First, the patient must undergo a comprehensive examination (tests, CT, X-ray), consultations with specialists - dentist, ENT, therapist. Stop taking anticoagulants, do not drink, do not smoke.

The intervention lasts about 40 minutes, most often under general anesthesia:

1. Marking of interference zones.
2. The incision is made along the narrowest part of the columella. So that the scar is not visible afterwards.
3. To reduce - resection of excess tissue or cartilage.
4. To enlarge - implants from the patient's cartilage, suturing the cartilage of the wings.
5. Applying a plaster or plastic retainer, which is worn for 2 weeks.

The patient can spend the first day in a hospital. The final result will be noticeable in 2-3 months when the swelling subsides.

The first weeks after the operation, the swelling of the nasal region persists, sensitivity decreases, and bruises under the eyes may appear. After 2 weeks, the swelling is practically no longer visible, but it lasts the same amount. For a couple of months, the tip of the nose may swell.
