Facial analysis – tip rotation
Tip rotation generally occurs along an arc
produced by a
radius based at the external auditory canal.
Tip projection
An ideal nasal profile in a patient in
whom the nasal tip leads the supratip
cartilaginous dorsum
by 1 to 2 mm.
Simon’s nasal projection is approximately
equal to the length of
the upper lip with a ratio of 1:1.
Goode’s method of tip projection. Nasofacial angle (30 to 40 degrees).
Clinical Assessment
• Routine investigation
• Clinical assessment
Assess external nasal deformity
Quality of skin
Facial analysis
• Photographic documents
Basic principles to be taken care……
• Be conservative
• Should know where to stop
• Never promise miraculous results after surgery
• Beware of psychotic patients
• Consent
External nasal deformities
• Tip
• Bulbous
• Bifid
• Overprojected
• Underprojected
• Tip ptosis
• Columella
• Retracted
• Deviated
• Broadened
• Alar cartilage
• Pinching/flaring
• Osseocartilagenous vault
• Deviated
• Bony/cartilagenous/both
• Saddle
• Bony/cartilagenous/both
• Hump
• Bony/cartilagenous/both
• Tension nose
Tip deformities
Tip Recoil
• Tip Recoil is defined as the
inherent strength and support of
the nasal tip.
• It can be evaluated by
depressing the tip towards the
upper lip and watching for the
tip's supportive structure to
spring back into position.
• If the recoil is good, and the tip
cartilages resist the deforming
influence, then tip surgery can
usually be performed without
fear of substantial support loss.

Columellar defects
Alar cartilage deformity
• Pinched alar cartilage .flared alar cartilage
Osteocartilagenous vault deformities
Quality of skin
Thick skin
Masks refinement and
definition
Failure to contract – excess
soft tissue scar
Does not show small
irregularities
Thin skin
• Small irregularities
become visible
• Early healing
• Less oedema
• Ensure that all bony,
cartilageneous grafts or
implants are precisely
positioned and smoothly
contoured.

• Correction of extreme overprojection
Principles of external rhinoplasty
• Incision- mid-columella incision connected to bilateral
marginal incision
• Dissection in subperiosteal and subperichondrial planes
• Division of medial intercrural tissue offers access to
caudal septum and premaxillary spine
• Division of upper lateral cartilages from quadrilateral
cartilage offers acccessability to whole of septum
Advantages
• Extensive exposure for both septal and rhinoplasty
surgery

over the domes
Surgical technique……
• Dissection carried in midline just cephalic to dome
subperichondrial plane
• Dissection of soft tissue of bony pyramid should start
above caudal end of nasal bone
• Nasal septum- between medial crurae of lower lateral
cartilage or hemitransfixion incision

correct buckled medial crura
,strengthen weak medial crura
,correct tip asymmetries
,stable base for tip graft
Specific applications
The 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
• Middle nasal vault
Shaded areas showing placement of
spreader grafts
REDUCTION
RHINOPLASTY
Indications…

associated with excess dorsal convexity
• Oversized alar cartilages producing increase tip and
lobule volume
Aims
o Aim-strong nasal dorsum in lateral profile-relates to ideal
nasion height
• Tip defining point-projecting just above dorsal line-to
create supratip break. In males may be on a straight line
with dorsum
Contraindications

Cartilage strip incision for cephalic strip
excision of lower lateral cartilage
Dehump
• Nasal hump
• Bony
• Cartilagenous
• Both
• Minimal bony hump can be reduced by using endonasal
approach with just rasping
• Small cartilagenous humps only require shaving of
cartilagenous ridges of the septal dorsum
• Dorsal hump which involves both cartilagenous and bony
vault open approach is preferred
• Cartilagenous dorsum is reduced first.
• Blade no.15 is held at the key area in horizontal plane to
incise across left upper lateral cartilage, quadrilateral
cartilage and right upper lateral .
• Advanced caudally in the plane of reduction this transects
the upper lateral cartilage and cartilagenous septum.
• Osteotome is then inserted under the cartilagenous
segment removing the osteocartilagenous hump en bloc
The 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
• Short intercartilageneous given
• 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
• It seperates the lateral bony wall of 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
• Lateral osteotomy done upto the level of frontal bone
Tranverse osteotomy

spine of frontal bone
• Osteotomy made at a level just below nasion
Complications
• Polybeak appearance
• Inverted v deformity
• Flat nose
• Senstivity and pain

• Costal cartilage
• Bone graft
Septal cartilage graft
• Harvested using hemitransfixion/transfixion/external
approach
• Harvested posterior to an imaginary line drawn from
anterior nasal spine to osteocartilagenous junction
• Septal cartilage is more rigid and easier to carve and
shape
Conchal cartilage
• Conchal cartilage of 3.5cm in length ,antihelix fold to be
kept intact
• Can be harvested by anterior or posterior approach
• For anterior approach incision is given just anterior and
deep to antihelical fold
• Skin is elevated from underlying cartilage by blunt
dissection upto the posterior edge of external auditory
meatus
Costal cartilage
• Straight rib cartilage harvested from 6th to 8th rib through
3-4cm skin incision
• Rectus muscle is split vertically and retracted
Management ..
• Surgical approach
• External approach preferred
Suture fixation
Reduces risk of infection
Preparation of graft and implant
Use template to achieve the exact size
Avoid abrupt edges
Suture fixation in case layered cartilage graft
• Preparation of bed
• Level base to avoid rocking
• Rasped to remove irregularities
• Splinting
• Percutaneous securing sutures
• Taping the skin of the nose down
• External nasal splint
DEVIATED NOSE
Principles of surgical correction
• Deviation and a dorsal hump – reduction technique
• Deviated nose without dorsal hump- septal surgery
• Deviation with saddling- augmentation
Treatment of upper nasal third
(bony pyramid)
• Medial ,lateral ,transverse percutaneous osteotomies at
the level of medial canthus allow shifting of the pyramid
back to the midline
• Minor deformity treated by unilateral osteotomies
• Disruption of key stone area can lead to notching of
dorsum,saddling.
Septal reconstruction
• Bony septum
• Resection of most prominent and curved part
• Cartilagenous septum
• Resection of redundant and displaced cartilage
• Scoring concave surface of carilage
• Correction of subluxated caudal septum
Treatment of middle third
• Shaving of the convex part of the septum
• Use of bilateral and unilateral spreader graft
• Staggered cuts to weaken bowed cartilage
Treatment of lower third
If nasal spine central –post septal angle should be sutured
with figure of eight
Locking technique- untrimmed displaced caudal septum is
placed on contralateral side of thinned nasal spine
Absent caudal septum with deviated tip will require
replacement with graft.
NASAL TIP AND
NASOLABIALANGLE
Tip Support Mechanisms
• Major:
• size, shape, and resiliency of the
medial and lateral crura.
• fibrous attachment of the medial
crural footplates to the caudal
septum.
• attachment of the caudal margin of
the upper lateral cartilages to the
cephalic margin of the alar cartilage.
• Minor:
• dorsal cartilaginous septum,
interdomal ligaments, membranous
septum, nasal spine, surrounding
skin and soft tissues, and alar
sidewalls.

Surgical approach
• Incisions
• Transcartilaginous
• Intercartilaginous
• Columellar break incision
• Marginal incision
• Approaches
• Delivery of tip cartilages
• Non-delivery of tip cartilages
• Open approach
• Retrograde approach
• Techniques
• Volume reduction with residual complete strip
• Volume reduction with suture reorientation of residual strip
• Interrupted strip
Transcartilagenous Incision
• Incise through vestibular skin
• Similar to intercartilaginous, but 3-5mm caudal to the
cephalic end of LLC
• This is caudal to the nasal valve
• Decreases risk of nasal obstruction (avoids scar
contracture of the valve)
Transcollumellar and marginal incision
• External approach
• Crosses collumella just above flared ends of the
medial crura
• Vertical columellar incision placed 1-2 mm inside
the vestibule
• Separate lateral incision given along the caudal
margin of lower lateral cartilage joined medially
over the domes.
Tip defining procedures
Methods
• Removal of cephalic strip of lower lateral cartilage
• Vertical division with or without strip excision of lower
lateral cartilage
• Tip suturing
• Tip graft
• Approximately 10mm of lower lateral cartilage left intact
• Lateral part of the cartilage left intact
Tip suturing technique
• Interdomal suture –to narrrow the nasal cartllage
• Technique for narrowing and rotation of the nasal tip
• Suture contouring of the nasal tip used to support grafts
such as columellar strut to strengthen media; crura and
enable tip projection
Underprojected nasal tip
• Cause
• Small alar cartilage
• Middle and upper third disproportionately large
• Maxillary n mandibular abnormality
• Methods of increasing tip projection
• Goldman tip
• Onlay graft
• Lateral crural steal
• Shield graft
• goldman tip and crural strut
• Vertical dome division of dome 2mm or lateral to the apex
• cause lengthening of medial crura segment
• Allows increase tip projection
• Cartilage strut 3-4 mm wide placed and sutured between
medial cruras
• Onlay graft
• graft over the alar cartilage
onlay tip grafts
• lateral crural steal
• Alar cartilage resected in intermediate crural area
alar cartilage may be delivered
lateral crura advanced to medial crura and
sutured
tip advancement and tip rotation
Shield grafts
In 1975 by Sheen
Indication-
Narrow middle nasal
Vault
Underprojected tip
Weak lower lateral
Cartilage
Incision- marginal
Or via external rhinoplasty
Columellar struts
Overprojecting tip
• Cause
• Overdevelopment of alar cartilage/ nasal spine/caudal
Septum/quadrangular cartilage dorsum
• Elongated columella
• Iatrogenic overprojection
• Methods of reduction
• transfixion excision
• Vertical dome division (goldman)
• Medial and lateral vertical segment excision
Vertical dome division –Irwing Goldman in 1957
Tip delivery approach
Vertical division of alar dome 1mm lateral to highest point
of dome
intermediate crura rotated anteriorly
intermediate crura sutured with medial crura
Medial crura stabilized their height trimmed

• Polybeak
• Dropping tips
• Uncorrected broad nasal tip
• Irregularities on nasal dorsum
Polybeak deformity
• Causes
• Drooping of nasal tip
• Absolute or relative high septal angle
• Reconstruction
• Increase of tip projection
• Reduction of cartilagenous nasal dorsum
• Combination of both
Nasal Dorsal Irregularities
• More prominent in thin skinned patients- tension nose
• Most common site is K area
• Small bony irregularities can be easily rasped
• Cartilagenous are made smooth with knife or scissors
• Autogenous grafts-from radix to septal cartilage

    Tip defining procedures Methods •Removal of cephalic strip of lower lateral cartilage • Vertical division with or without strip excision of lower lateral cartilage • Tip suturing • Tip graft • Approximately 10mm of lower lateral cartilage left intact • Lateral part of the cartilage left intact
  • 106.
    Tip suturing technique •Interdomal suture –to narrrow the nasal cartllage • Technique for narrowing and rotation of the nasal tip • Suture contouring of the nasal tip used to support grafts such as columellar strut to strengthen media; crura and enable tip projection
  • 109.
    Underprojected nasal tip •Cause • Small alar cartilage • Middle and upper third disproportionately large • Maxillary n mandibular abnormality • Methods of increasing tip projection • Goldman tip • Onlay graft • Lateral crural steal • Shield graft
  • 110.
    • goldman tipand crural strut • Vertical dome division of dome 2mm or lateral to the apex • cause lengthening of medial crura segment • Allows increase tip projection • Cartilage strut 3-4 mm wide placed and sutured between medial cruras • Onlay graft • graft over the alar cartilage
  • 111.
  • 112.
    • lateral cruralsteal • Alar cartilage resected in intermediate crural area alar cartilage may be delivered lateral crura advanced to medial crura and sutured tip advancement and tip rotation
  • 113.
    Shield grafts In 1975by Sheen Indication- Narrow middle nasal Vault Underprojected tip Weak lower lateral Cartilage Incision- marginal Or via external rhinoplasty

    Overprojecting tip • Cause •Overdevelopment of alar cartilage/ nasal spine/caudal Septum/quadrangular cartilage dorsum • Elongated columella • Iatrogenic overprojection • Methods of reduction • transfixion excision • Vertical dome division (goldman) • Medial and lateral vertical segment excision
  • 116.
    Vertical dome division–Irwing Goldman in 1957 Tip delivery approach Vertical division of alar dome 1mm lateral to highest point of dome intermediate crura rotated anteriorly intermediate crura sutured with medial crura Medial crura stabilized their height trimmed

    common deformities…. • Polybeak •Dropping tips • Uncorrected broad nasal tip • Irregularities on nasal dorsum
  • 122.
    Polybeak deformity • Causes •Drooping of nasal tip • Absolute or relative high septal angle • Reconstruction • Increase of tip projection • Reduction of cartilagenous nasal dorsum • Combination of both
  • 124.
    Nasal Dorsal Irregularities •More prominent in thin skinned patients- tension nose • Most common site is K area • Small bony irregularities can be easily rasped • Cartilagenous are made smooth with knife or scissors • Autogenous grafts-from radix to septal cartilage • Crushed septal cartilage strut preferred
  • 125.
    Columella deformities • Acutenasolabial angle • Retraction of columella • Cause- • Overresection of caudal septal end • Resection of anterior nasal spine • Creation of columella pocket between medial crura Correction- Distance between columellar skin and caudal septum by inserting a cartilage strut
  • 126.
    OVERSHORTENED NOSE Patients with thistend to take legal Action Too much cartilage or vestibular Skin removed from lateral cartilage
