ABSTRACT:
A contour nasal implant adapted to be used in rhinoplasty surgery is shown. The contour nasal implant includes an elongated central member having a first end and a second end wherein the second end is spaced a predetermined distance from the first end. The first end of the elongated central member is flared to define a dorsal support end or dorsal section which is adapted to be positioned over the nasal dorsum in the nose of a patient to augment the frontal and profile views of the nose along the nasal dorsum. The second end includes a tip having a predetermined shape which is located on the same side of the elongated central member as the dorsal support end. A second end includes a keel having a selected width and length and the keel is located on the second end under the predetermined shaped tip. The keel is positioned substantially perpendicular to the elongated central member and is positioned such that the length of the keel is generally parallel to the elongated central member. The predetermined shaped tip is operative, when implanted into the nose of a patient, to reshape and elevate the nasal tip of the nose of a patient. The predetermined shaped tip and the dorsal support end contour and shape the frontal and profile views of the nose of a patient.
