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).
Basic principles to be taken care…… Be conservative Should know where to stop Never promise miraculous results after surgery Beware of psychotic patients C onsent
External nasal deformities Tip Bulbous Bifid Overprojected Underprojected Tip ptosis Columella Retracted Deviated Broadened
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. 9/25/2016 Prof Sameer ALI Bafaqeeh 26
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.

Types of rhinoplasty Open approach Closed approach External rhinoplasty endonasal rhinoplasty Trans columellar incision incisions positioned inside the nostril
External rhinoplasty
Indications Extensive revision surgery Severe nasal trauma Congenital deformities: cleft lip nose Marked tip deformities Elaborate reduction and augmentation procedures 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 Binocular vision Use of both hands Control of bleeding and diathermy precise placement and suturing of struts,battens and shield grafts Valve area preserved
Surgical technique Broken transcolumellar incision If columella short in case of cleft lip-V incision Mid- columella incision situated above medial crural foot plates Vertical columellar incision made 1.5-2mm inside vestibule Separate lateral incision given which is joined medially 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 Strut used to 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… Patients with ideal height and position of the nasion associated with excess dorsal convexity Oversized alar cartilages producing increase tip and lobule volume
Aims 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 Underprojected tip pseudohumps Deep radix (deep root) of nose Short over-rotated nose Triad of thin skin delicate alar side walls bifidity
Techniques Nasal tip surgery Dehump Osteotomies
Tip surgery Cephalic trim for volume reduction of lower lateral cartilage done Transcartilagenous incision 5mm of continous Strip of lateral crus of Lower lateral cartilage Is preserved . for rotation excision Of caudal end of septum
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 Seperates the bony pyramid from frontal bone and nasal spine of frontal bone Osteotomy made at a level just below nasion
Complications Polybeak appearance Inverted v deformity Flat nose Senstivity and pain
Augmentation rhinoplasty
Saddle nose Pug nose or boxer nose
Aetiology Trauma Nasal surgery Familial/ethnic Infections Chronic Inflammatory conditions tumour
Daniel and Brenner Classification for saddle nose TYPE TERM DESCRIPTION pseudosaddle relative depression of cartilaginous dorsum relative to bony septum
Type 1 minor minor decrease in septal support cosmetic supratip depression and columella concealment retraction
Type 2 moderate cartilage vault collapse, columella cartilage retraction,loss of tip support vault reduced projection restoration
Type3 major obvious depression, flattening of composite of middle vault,drop in septal dorsum reconstruction and roof. Upward rotation of nasal tip
Type 4 severe large septal deformity involving bony structural vault reconstrution
Type 5 catastrophic massive defect requiring total construction
Properties of implant materials Noncarcinogenic and nonimmunogenic Not toxic Nondestructive , should not impede healing Physical properties match the local tissues Nonresorbable Easily available Cost effective easy to sterilize
Type of autografts Septal cartilage Auricular cartilage Costal cartilage Bone graft
Septal cartilage graft H arvested using hemitransfixion /transfixion/external approach H arvested 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 6 th to 8 th 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 nasolabial angle
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.
