Definition and causes of Pollybeak Deformity

It is the name given to the noses resembling parrot beak. Congenital nasal tip (type region) to be downward drooping, nasal holes between the columella region is short and the tip of the nasal tip towards the nasal tip of the supratip region gives this image. After the rhinoplasty operation, the excess supratype (cartilage or soft tissue) is left behind and this deformity is caused. The supratip breaking point at the tip of the nose is the smallest angle between the tip of the nose and the back of the nose and makes the nose look aesthetically beautiful. In rhinoplasty, the beak nasal deformity is corrected by removing excess tissue in the supratip and / or raising the type region (with suture and cartilage).

Pollybeak deformity may be a result of the technique used in nasal nose surgery, but it may occur as an unpredictable complication even for the most experienced surgeons. The causes of beak nasal deformity can be roughly classified as inadequate resection of supratip structures (inadequate cartilage removal), excessive rasping of the nasal bone, loss of nasal tip support, or abnormal edema in patients with thick supratip skin.
