Inverted V deformity, a common complication after rhinoplasty, can affect both nasal aesthetics and breathing. At New You, we specialize in correcting this issue through advanced revision rhinoplasty techniques like spreader grafts, cartilage grafts, and cadaveric rib grafts, tailored to restore both form and function.
Inverted V deformity occurs when the upper lateral cartilages collapse following rhinoplasty, creating a visible depression along the nasal bridge. This leads to a distinctive inverted V shape at the midline of the nose and can cause both aesthetic and functional problems, including breathing difficulties.
The primary causes of inverted V deformity include:
Excessive cartilage removal
Weakened cartilage support
Scar tissue formation
Correcting Inverted V Deformity: A Tailored Approach at New You
Correcting inverted V deformity requires both aesthetic and functional expertise. At New You, we follow a comprehensive approach for revision rhinoplasty:
Key Steps in Revision Rhinoplasty
In-depth Consultation and Planning: A detailed consultation helps us assess the deformity and breathing concerns.
Rebuilding the Nasal Bridge with Spreader Grafts: Spreader grafts provide structural support to restore the nasal contour and improve airflow.
Cartilage Grafts for Structural Support: Using cartilage from the septum, ear, or cadaveric rib provides lasting support to the weakened structure.
Precise Techniques for Functional and Aesthetic Balance: We ensure proper graft placement and suturing to restore both form and function.
Addressing Scar Tissue and Healing: Scar tissue management is essential for smooth recovery and long-lasting results.
The Complexity of Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is more complex and often more costly than primary rhinoplasty. Factors contributing to this include increased surgical difficulty, longer surgery times, and the use of advanced techniques like spreader grafts and rib cartilage grafts.

FAQs
What causes inverted V deformity?
Inverted V deformity is caused by the collapse of the upper lateral cartilages after rhinoplasty, often due to excessive cartilage removal, weakened support, or scar tissue formation.
Can inverted V deformity affect breathing?
Yes, inverted V deformity can obstruct airflow, leading to breathing difficulties. Correcting the nasal structure can restore proper function.
How is inverted V deformity corrected?
The correction typically involves the use of spreader grafts, cartilage grafts, and sometimes rib cartilage to rebuild the nasal bridge and restore structural integrity.
Is revision rhinoplasty more expensive than primary rhinoplasty?
Yes, revision rhinoplasty is generally more complex, involving scar tissue management and advanced techniques, which can increase both the surgery time and cost.
Why choose New You for revision rhinoplasty?
New You specializes in complex rhinoplasty revisions, using advanced techniques to correct deformities like inverted V and improve both aesthetic and functional outcomes.
Ultrasonic Piezo Rhinoplasty represents a groundbreaking advancement in nasal surgery, utilising sophisticated ultrasonic technology to reshape the nasal bones with unprecedented precision. This innovative technique employs specialised piezoelectric instruments that convert electrical energy into mechanical vibrations, allowing surgeons to modify nasal bones without damaging surrounding soft tissues. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty methods that rely on manual tools like chisels and rasps, Piezo technology offers controlled and precise bone modification. This revolutionary approach minimises trauma to adjacent tissues, resulting in reduced post-operative swelling and bruising. The technology's precision allows for more predictable outcomes and enhanced aesthetic results.
MicroSculpt technology represents a revolutionary advancement in male rhinoplasty procedures, incorporating ultrasonic bone reshaping and power-assisted micro-motor tools. This sophisticated approach utilises precise thermal sculpting techniques to modify nasal structures with unprecedented accuracy. The ultrasonic technology allows surgeons to reshape nasal bones without the trauma associated with traditional osteotomes, resulting in significantly reduced post-operative swelling and bruising. The integration of power-assisted micro-motor tools enables surgeons to perform more precise modifications to both bone and cartilage. These instruments operate at carefully controlled frequencies, allowing for gentle tissue manipulation whilst maintaining structural integrity. Compared to conventional techniques, MicroSculpt technology offers enhanced precision, reduced tissue trauma, and more predictable outcomes.
The piezo technology operates by converting electrical energy into mechanical vibrations at ultrasonic frequencies. These precise vibrations allow surgeons to selectively target bone tissue while preserving delicate surrounding structures. The ultrasonic instruments operate at frequencies between 25-30 kHz, creating micro-movements that effectively sculpt nasal bones without causing trauma to adjacent tissues.
