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.
鼻畸形对面部美观有负面影响，可归因于多种先天性或后天性原因，其中肌肉肥大并不常见。在本文中，我们讲述了一名26岁女性的病例，除了鼻子的其他异常外，她的鼻中段明显宽阔。由于触诊时感觉增厚且质地坚硬，认为其起源于软组织。进行了开放式鼻整形术，术中观察到并切除了成对的横鼻肌肥大。患者术后恢复安全，美容效果极佳，对呼吸和发音方面的鼻腔功能影响极小。由于其操作简单且能够纠正其他并存的鼻畸形，我们建议对任何有类似毁容情况的患者采用这种方法。
