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.

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.

Otoplasty, also known as ear correction surgery, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of prominent or misshapen ears. This transformative treatment encompasses both ear pinning and reshaping techniques, allowing surgeons to address various aesthetic concerns. At our Harley Street clinic, we specialise in both traditional ear pinning, which reduces the angle between the ears and head, and comprehensive reshaping procedures that can modify the ear's structure. The procedure is suitable for both children (typically over 5 years old) and adults who are concerned about protruding or asymmetrical ears. Ideal candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations about the outcome. The surgery can address various concerns, including prominent ears, asymmetry, abnormal ear folds, and ears affected by injury or birth defects.
The Deep Plane Facelift represents the pinnacle of modern facial rejuvenation techniques, offering comprehensive restoration of facial aesthetics through advanced surgical methodology. This sophisticated procedure addresses multiple layers of facial tissue, providing more natural and longer-lasting results compared to traditional facelift approaches. By targeting the deep muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layer, surgeons can achieve remarkable improvements in facial contours whilst maintaining natural expression and movement. The procedure's scientific foundation lies in its unique approach to facial anatomy, working with rather than against the natural tissue planes. This results in reduced tension on the skin, minimising the risk of the dreaded 'pulled' appearance often associated with conventional facelifts. The technique particularly excels in addressing mid-facial sagging, nasolabial folds, and jowl formation - common concerns that traditional facelifts may not adequately address.
Septorhinoplasty is an advanced surgical procedure that combines functional septoplasty with aesthetic rhinoplasty. This comprehensive approach addresses both breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum and cosmetic concerns about nasal appearance. During the procedure, our skilled surgeons at New You Harley Street correct the internal septal deviation whilst simultaneously refining the external nasal structure.
