Precision Segmental Preservation Rhinoplasty: Avoiding Widening, Defining New Dorsal Esthetic Lines in Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty

Abstract

Experiencing great worldwide scientific excitement, the number of nose preservation surgeries has increased rapidly, promoting a considerable percentage of drawbacks and complications, causing many surgeons to recoil and return to classic resective techniques. In this study, we develop concepts that allow us to operate noses with preservation rhinoplasty that were previously considered to be among the absolute contraindications. Redefining new dorsal aesthetic lines, controlling the nasal lateral wall and the naso-facial groove surfaces, avoiding mid-vault widening and being precise in the design of bony and cartilaginous nasal profile, avoiding any type of irregularity, are strategies that will be presented.
