Advancing Rhinoplasty with Purpose

In his study, Dr. Shah describes how expanding the pyriform aperture—the bony opening at the base of the nose—allows surgeons to sculpt a refined external nasal contour while preserving or enhancing nasal airway volume. Traditional rhinoplasty maneuvers sometimes risk narrowing the airway; this new method offers a way to refine external appearance without compromising function.

Why This Matters

  • Dual benefit: Patients may gain both improved nasal aesthetics and better breathing.
  • Fewer revisions: By safeguarding the internal airway, the likelihood of breathing-related corrective procedures may decrease.
  • Anatomic customization: Dr. Shah emphasizes that every surgical plan must respect the patient’s individual bony and soft-tissue anatomy.
  • Evolving surgical mindset: This work encourages rhinoplasty surgeons to incorporate internal structural modifications in addition to external shaping.

A Word from Dr. Shah

“For too long, rhinoplasty has often forced patients to choose between beauty or breathing. With pyriform aperture enlargement, we can deliver both. By sculpting from the inside out, we preserve the airway while refining the nose’s external contours. The goal is balance—where your nose looks great and works great.” — Dr. Anil Shah
