Rhinoplasty - How to Widen a Narrow Nose

Im Dr William Portuese based in Seattle Washington Im a facial plastic surgeon specializing in rhinoplasty and today we're going to be talking about widening a very narrow nose first of all if they have a hump we have to shave the hump down that automatically widens the nose but if they need additional widening we make some little tiny cuts in the nasal bones and we place two little cartilaginous spreader grafts in the upper lateral cartilages and up in those nasal bones and open up the nasal bones a little bit and they're held open with those cartilage grafts the cartilage grafts are harvested from inside the patient's nose so it's their own tissue it's not a foreign body or anything and that ends up holding the nasal bones in a more open and wider position so that the dorsal aesthetic lines look much better rather than this pinched nose we occasionally see
