Introduction
⦿ Challenging procedure in facial plastic surgery
Historical aspects
⦿ First in India 600 b.C external and open approaches
⦿ 1887 - John orlando roe performed first intranasal
rhinoplasty.
⦿ Rethi and sercer in 1934 developed transcolumellar inscisions
ANATOMY
• Upper third
• Middle third
• Lower third
Nasal valve
Preoperative assessment
⦿ Consider facial aesthetics
⦿ nasal function
⦿ Consideration of the patient’s motivations, anxieties
and expectations
⦿ Analysis of the face
⦿ Analysis of the nose
⦿ Examination
⦿ Photography.
Patient
⦿ History
⦿ Expectations
⦿ Body dysmorphic disorder
⦿ High risk patient SIMON
⦿ Ideal patient SLYVIA
⦿ Second opinion from psychiatrist
Analysis of face
• nasofrontal angle 115–135 °
• nasofacial angle 30–40 °
• nasomental angle 120–132 °
• mentocervical angle 80–95 °
Analysis of nose
⦿ Inspection of external nose
⦿ Inspection of internal nose
⦿ Palpation
⦿Skin quality:
⦿ Thick and sebaceous--- refining and narrowing the nasal tip
can be challenging
⦿ Thin skin--- minor irregularities are easily detectable
Deviations
⦿ Saddle nose hump nose
⦿Length of the nose:
⦿ Ideal projection is determined
using Goode’s ratio, where a
line drawn from the alar–
facial groove to the nasal tip
measures 0.55–0.60 of the
distance from the nasion to
the nasal tip.
⦿ A ratio less than this equates
to an underprojected nose
and greater than this
corresponds to overprojection
Tip
projection:
⦿Lip–chin relationship:
Tip configuration
Tip abnormalities
BROAD ,BULLOUS,SQUARE BALL TIP BIFID TIP UPWARDLY ROTATED TIP
ASYMMETRIC TIP
⦿ Dorsum:
⦿ Alar abnormalities
pinching flaring
⦿ Tip rotation Columellar show
⦿ Basal view:
Aetiology
⦿ Nasal fractures – 40% of facial fractures
⦿ Injury – functional
aesthetic problems
⦿ Chilhood/ adult fractures
⦿ Growth in facial skeleton more often asymmetric leading to
appearance of a damaged nose without any prior history of
trauma.
Types of nasal fractures
Stranc and Robertson classification
⦿Lateral blows:
⦿ Simple depressed nasal bone
⦿ Displacement of bony cartilage
⦿ Deviation of nasal axis in lower 2/3rd due to vertical fracture of
septum.
⦿Frontal blows:
⦿ Fracture of tip of nasal bone
⦿ Injury to cartilagenous vault ---widening of bridge
⦿ Horizontal fracture of septum--- loss of height in middle third
leading to saddle nose deformity.
Closed reduction within 2-3 weeks
Types of rhinoplasty
⦿ External --- open approach
⦿ Endonasal--- closed approach
⦿ Advantages of external rhinoplasty
⦿ Extensive exposure
⦿ Binocular vision
⦿ Use of both hands
⦿ Control of bleeding and diathermy
⦿ Precise placement of struts and grafts
⦿ Valve area preserved
⦿ Indications
⦿ Extensive revision surgery
⦿ Severe nasal trauma
⦿ Congenital deformities: cleft lip nose
⦿ Marked tip deformities
⦿ Elaborate reduction and augmentation procedures
⦿ Correction of extreme overprojection
Surgical technique
⦿Inscision:
⦿ Broken line transcolumellar inscision --- less visible scar
⦿ Step, gullwing , inverted v type
⦿ In upper 2/3rd at narrowest point
⦿ In lower1/3rd least support
⦿ Joined to marginal inscions along the lateral crus
Inscisions
Dissection of soft tissue envelope
⦿ In subperichondrial and subperiosteal planes to ensure minimal
bleeding
⦿ Expose medial and lateral crura
⦿ Cephalic dissection towards nasal bones
⦿ Potential complication – supratip odema
⦿ Soft tissue pollybeak -- if done in wrong planes disturbs the
integrity of transverse nasalis muscle.
Access to nasal septum
⦿ Division of soft tissue between medial crura of LLC
⦿ Alternative – killians inscision
⦿ Columellar strut placement
⦿ Between medial crura with matress sutures
⦿ To correct buckled medial crura
⦿ To strengthen weak MC
⦿ Correct tip asymmetry
⦿ Provide base for tip grafts
Closure
⦿ With 6-0 vicryl or with tissue glue.
Specific applications
⦿ Bony pyramid in external rhinoplasty
⦿ Allows use of burr or reduction of the soft tissue envelope at
nasion to deepen the nasofrontal angle
⦿ Application of soft tissue onlay grafts
⦿ Bony dehumping together with lateral, medial, and
intermediate osteotomies
⦿ The middle nasal vault
⦿ Placement of cartilaginous strips or spreader grafts to open up the
nasal valve area and angles
⦿ Auto spreader grafts infolded ULC
⦿ Reconstuction of dorsal nasal roof
⦿ Straightening of high dorsal deviated septum
⦿ Recreation of dorsal aesthetic lines
Nasal tip surgery
⦿ Tripod theory
⦿ Structural framework of nasal tip
⦿ Deprojected – medial and lateral crura
decreased length
⦿ Projected – medial and lateral crura increased
length
⦿ Rotation shortening of lateral crura and
lengthening of medial crura.
⦿ Treatment
⦿ LLC divided laterally and
overlapped to deprojected tip
and create tip rotation.
⦿ Lateral crural steal
⦿ Tongue in groove technique of
septocolumellar suturing
Augumentation rhinoplasty
⦿ Saddle nose --- Pug nose or boxer nose
⦿ Aetiology
1. Trauma
2. Nasal surgery
3. Familial/ethnic
4. Infections
5. Chronic Inflammatory conditions
6. tumour
Daniel and Brenner Classification for
saddle nose
Type 0 pseudosaddle
⦿ Relative depression of cartilaginous dorsum relative to bony
septum
Type 1 minor cosmetic concealment
⦿ Minor decrease in septal support
supratip depression and columella
retraction
⦿ Correction with diced cartilage grafts /
columellar strut
Type 2 moderate cartilage
vault restoration

REDUCTION RHINOPLASTY
⦿ Indications
⦿ Patients with ideal height and position of the nasion associated

⦿ Oversized alar cartilages producing increase tip and lobule volume
Dorsal hump
Osteotomies
⦿ Medial osteotomy
⦿ Lateral osteotomy
• Low to high
• Low to low
⦿ Transverse osteotomy
⦿ Intermediate osteotomy
Medial osteotomy
⦿ It seperates the nasal bone from the septum
⦿ Made on both side
⦿ Nasal bone seperated at intranasal suture
⦿ Outer peritosteun is pushed to the side
⦿ Osteotome is placed at about 2mm
paramedially • Osteotome is worked through
the bone slightly below the level of frontal
bone
Lateral osteotomy

pyramid from nasal process of
maxilla
⦿ Short lateral incision is given
⦿ Medial to lateral subperiosteal tunnel
is formed upto level of medial
canthus
⦿ Osteotome placed across frontal
process of maxilla

level of frontal bone
Tranverse osteotomy
⦿ Seperates the bony pyramid from frontal bone and nasal spine of
frontal bone
⦿ Osteotomy made at a level just below nasion
Complications
⦿ Bossae formation

⦿ Triad of---thin skin
⦿ strong alar cartilages
⦿ bifidity of tip
⦿ Treatment trimming/ reection of knuckled areas
⦿ Suture reconstruction
⦿ Covering with caumoflaage grafts in minor deformities
⦿ Alar retraction
⦿ Over zealous cephalic strip
resection
⦿ Absolute minimum of 6 mm
cartilage should be preserved.
⦿ Hanging columella
⦿ Over resection of caudal septum
⦿ Tongue in groove suturing / strut
placement
Revision rhinoplasty
⦿ 5 – 10% require revision
⦿ Unpredictable healing beyond surgeons control
⦿ Inadequate primary procedure
⦿ Safian 3 basic rules to prevent revision
⦿ Never change normal basic anatomy/relationships and never totally
remove a component
⦿ Never allow skin and lining membrane to meet or left in contact
⦿ Never destroy nasal cartilage
Pollybeak deformity
⦿ Dropping of nasal tip and loss of
projection
Overshortened nose
