Enter the operating room and see first-hand how nose surgery is performed and learn about each specific procedure with Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Specialist Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a distinguished facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon internationally known for his innovative surgical techniques and expertise in revision & ethnic rhinoplasty for Asian, Hispanic, and African American patients.
In this video you'll discover how Plumping grafts are a helpful technique in correcting a retracted or acute nasolabial angle. The nasolabial angle is the angle formed by the labial surface of the upper lip at the midline and the inferior border of the nose. It is a measure of the relative protrusion of the upper lip.
Ideally, the angle between the upper lip and the nose should be between 90-105 degrees in women, and between 90-95 degrees in men. When this angle is smaller than 90 degrees, it gives the appearance that the tip of the nose is drooping and it can also make the individual seem older than their age.
Correction of this angle with Plumping grafts involves placing bits of the patients own natural cartilage beneath the skin into the lower columella at the base of the nasolabial angle. This can produce cephalic rotation and illusory increased tip projection.
