What is the most effective way to enhance projection of the nose in a cleft rhinoplasty procedure?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
I am wondering if there is any technique that has been observed to have lasting effects. Does rib cartilage tend to warp more than cartilage taken from other parts of the nose?
A. I hope that your family and you are well. The most effective way to enhance projection of a cleft nose is with cartilage. In expert hands, I believe that rib cartilage is best, will have lasting effects, and should be least likely to warp. I recommend Ari Hyman, MD in Encino, CA . Dr. Hyman is well trained, skilled, experienced, knowledgable, and has natural artistic vision. Good luck and stay well.
