Columelloplasty is a specialized surgical procedure that focuses on reshaping or modifying the columella, the strip of tissue that separates the nostrils at the base of the nose. This procedure is often performed in conjunction with other rhinoplasty (nose job) procedures to achieve specific aesthetic goals. At Sarayu Clinics in Delhi, we offer expert Columelloplasty services to help you attain the nasal harmony and aesthetics you desire.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Columelloplasty?

Ideal candidates for columelloplasty are individuals undergoing rhinoplasty who have specific concerns about the appearance or structure of their columella. It’s crucial for candidates to maintain realistic expectations regarding potential results.

How Is Columelloplasty Performed?

Collumelaplasty is typically performed in conjunction with other rhinoplasty procedures. The procedure involves several key steps:

  • Anesthesia: Patients are typically placed under general anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable and pain-free experience.
  • Incisions: Incisions are carefully made inside the nose, resulting in no visible external scars.
  • Reshaping: The skilled surgeon will then remove or reshape the columella to achieve the desired appearance.
  • Closure: Following the procedure, the incisions are meticulously closed with sutures.

What to Expect?

Recovery after Columelloplasty is similar to the rhinoplasty recovery process. Patients may experience some swelling and bruising, which typically subside within a few days to a couple of weeks. Most patients can return to work and regular activities within one to two weeks.

The results of Columelloplasty are generally permanent. A reshaped columella enhances nasal aesthetics and harmony with the rest of the face, providing long-lasting results.

As with any surgical procedure, Columelloplasty carries potential risks and complications, including infection, scarring, asymmetry, and dissatisfaction with the results. To ensure a successful outcome, it’s essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During your consultation at Sarayu Clinics, our surgeon will assess your concerns, nasal structure, and goals, recommending the most appropriate approach to achieve your desired results.

Common reasons for columelloplasty include correcting a hanging columella, improving nasal symmetry, enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the nose, and addressing issues related to previous nasal surgeries or congenital deformities.

The procedure typically involves making incisions inside the nostrils to access the columella. Excess tissue and cartilage may be trimmed or repositioned to achieve the desired shape and alignment. The incisions are then closed with dissolvable sutures.

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure due to local anesthesia. Post-operative pain is usually mild and can be managed with prescribed pain relief medications.

Recovery time varies by individual, but most patients can return to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common but typically subside within a few weeks, with final results becoming visible after several months.

As with any surgical procedure, columelloplasty carries potential risks, including infection, scarring, asymmetry, and changes in sensation. However, these risks are minimized when the procedure is performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Tripathi.
