Rhinoplasty Refinements: The Role of the Open Approach

Rhinoplasty Refinements: The Role of the Open Approach
Rohrich, Rod J., Afrooz, Paul N.
Summary: The open rhinoplasty technique facilitates accurate visualization of deformities and aesthetic disharmonies in addition to visualization for precise correction. Through a series of videos, this case represents the evolution of the open rhinoplasty technique, demonstrating a wide range in complexity of maneuvers to achieve the desired correction in rhinoplasty. The video demonstrates reduction of the nasal dorsum by way of a component dorsal reduction, reconstitution of the cartilaginous midvault, and suture techniques for reshaping the nasal tip. Nasal tip deprojection and placement of alar contour grafts are also demonstrated in this case. The aim is to provide the rhinoplasty surgeon with examples of basic and sophisticated techniques and also to demonstrate the minutia and nuance of open rhinoplasty.
