Rhinoplasty for Hypertrophied Transverse Nasalis Muscle: A Case Report

Negatively impacting the aesthetics of the face, nasal deformities can be attributed to many congenital or acquired causes, of which muscular hypertrophy is uncustomary. In this article, we narrate a case of a 26-year-old woman with a prominently wide mid-vault, in addition to other abnormalities of...

description Negatively impacting the aesthetics of the face, nasal deformities can be attributed to many congenital or acquired causes, of which muscular hypertrophy is uncustomary. In this article, we narrate a case of a 26-year-old woman with a prominently wide mid-vault, in addition to other abnormalities of the nose. It was thought to originate from soft tissue because it was thick and firm to palpation. Open rhinoplasty was done where hypertrophy of the paired transverse nasalis muscle was observed and resected. The patient enjoyed a safe postoperative period with excellent cosmetic results and minimal effect on the nasal function in terms of breathing and pronunciation. We recommend this approach to any patient with a similar disfigurement due to its simplicity and ability to correct other co-existing nasal disfigurements.
