Chapter  Basic Nasal Tip Surgery: Anatomy and Technique 325
https://t.me/medicina_free
Anatomic variations of the lateral crural complex may have a direct impact on tip support and rotation. To elaborate, the rigidity of the connection between the lateral crus and accessory cartilages is directly related to the amount of tip support provided and resistance to posterior movement of the nasal tip. Also, if the abutment is high on the piriform aperture, there can be resistance to upward tip rotation.
Medial Crural Attachments to the Caudal Septum
e medial crura of each lower lateral cartilage approximate one another in the columella. Position, shape, and strength of the medial crura inuence tip support and rotation. e medial crura approximate the caudal septum and anterior nasal spine with broelastic tissue attachments providing support but allowing mobil­ity. Posterior movement of the medial crura is possible to some extent, since the caudal ends of each footplate ank the more midline septum and anterior nasal spine. Disruption of these so tissue attachments, such as with a transxion in­cision, allows greater posterior displacement of the medial crura and decreased tip projection. When the brous attachments from the medial crura to the caudal septum are violated, the only support remaining is that of so tissue interposed between the footplates and nasal spine. is tissue is compressible, and the sup­port it supplies is solely dependent on its density. Medial crural length also inu­ences the support provided, because the closer the footplates are to the anterior nasal spine and premaxilla, the less so tissue will be available for compression and the greater the resistance to posterior movement.
In addition, ample so tissue, including collagen bers, adipocytes, and muscle bers of the depressor septi nasi and orbicularis oris muscles, is found between the opposing medial crura. Disruption of these so tissues during open rhino­plasty will also inuence tip projection.
Open rhinoplasty provides optimal exposure to the nasal framework. Such expo­sure allows comprehensive diagnosis and greater accuracy in surgical execution.
Suspensory Ligament of the Nasal Tip
Although some controversy exists regarding the nomenclature of the suspen­sory ligament of the nasal tip that is located in the interdomal region, its clini­cal relevance is not disputed. e ligament serves as a connection between the cephalic margins of the lateral crura as they diverge in the supratip region. e suspensory ligament rests over the anterior septal angle, in turn providing addi­tional tip support. Clinically, when the dorsal septum is reduced or this ligament is violated, support is reduced.

Fibrous attachments of the lower lateral cartilages to the upper lateral cartilages, piriform aperture, and caudal septum are responsible for nasal tip support and position.
Surgical maneuvers including transxion incision, intercartilaginous incision, cephalic trim, and lower lateral cartilage division will violate support structures and change the position of these cartilages. Minor contributions to nasal tip sup­port include the brous attachments of the lower lateral cartilages to the dorsal septum, the membranous septum, and lower lateral cartilage attachments to the overlying skin. e skin of the nose adheres to the tip cartilages, stabilizing the tip and resisting movement of the tip cartilages. Freeing the skin from the carti­lages eliminates this resistance. e overlying skin may play a more vital role in tip support than previously thought.
THE TRIPOD CONCEPT
e tripod concept proposed by Anderson remains a useful means of under­standing the relationship between tip rotation and projection. upright, the tripod lies on its side, with one lower leg and two upper legs. e lateral crura represent two upper lateral legs, and the abutting medial crura pro­duce the central lower leg. e lower tripod leg is also inuenced by the caudal septum. Shortening the medial crura or violating the related so tissue support, as mentioned previously, leads to a decrease in nasal tip projection and rota­tion. Shortening of the upper legs or violation of associated so tissue leads to decreased projection and increased rotation. Augmentation with gras or struts that alter tripod leg length will also inuence tip position.

Lengthening the lower tripod leg should result in increased tip projection and rotation.
Lengthening the upper tripod legs and shortening the lower leg should accentu­ate upward tip rotation.
e tripod concept facilitates an understanding of how surgical modications to the medial and lateral crura inuence tip position.
Although the tripod concept provides a foundation for understanding surgery of the nasal tip, it is apparent that subtleties in tip dynamics preclude total re­liability. e tripod concept provides a basis for diagnosing abnormalities and guiding surgical planning.
MODIFICATIONS OF THE TIP CARTILAGES
Modied tip cartilages are commonly used for the following purposes:
1. To alter tip projection
2. To alter tip rotation
3. To improve tip denition
4. To reduce tip fullness
5. To create a supratip break
6. To improve the alar-columellar relationship

When there is moderate aring of the medial crura as they transcend the dome area, suturing the medial aspect of the domes together can provide a slight in­crease in tip projection. us suturing straightens the are of the anterior medial and middle crura.

e amount of tip projection achieved with columellar strut gra placement also varies depending on the surgical approach. With the closed approach, a minimal increase in tip projection can be accomplished. In a closed approach the strut is placed through a vertical incision at the base of the columella. A pocket is cre­ated between the medial crura to the level of the anterior nasal spine. A so tissue interface is preserved on the anterior nasal spine to prevent direct abutment of the strut on the ridge inferior to the anterior nasal spine. Contact at this area can lead to clicking or lateral displacement of the strut. Placement of the columellar strut gra into the pocket is accomplished by passing it through the vertical in­cision while using a double-pronged skin hook secured in each vestibular apex to maintain the tip in the desired position. Use of a Brown-Adson forceps allows pushing the strut rst toward the pocket base and then into its anterior position. Pocket size should extend  to mm beyond the anterior end of the incision to allow projection of the strut past the incision edge.

Columellar strut placement using an open approach allows a greater increase in tip projection, given the ability to release the lower lateral cartilages and rees­tablish them in a more projecting position on the strut. Following elevation of the nasal skin envelope, a pocket is created between the feet of the medial crura. Again, a so tissue layer is preserved on the premaxilla to avoid having the strut seated directly on nasal spine bone. e columellar strut can be placed in an in­visible position by dissecting the pocket closer to the caudal septum superiorly. If changes in the shape of the columella, alteration of the alar-columellar relation­ship, and/or columellar-labial transition are desired, this pocket can be dissected closer to the columellar skin.
If changes in the shape of the columella, alteration of the alar-columellar rela­tionship, and/or columellar-labial transition are desired, this pocket can be dis­sected closer to the columellar skin.
e columellar strut is placed into the pocket with Brown-Adson forceps and pushed toward the anterior nasal spine to ensure that it is resting in the bottom of the pocket. Double-pronged skin hooks secured in each vestibular apex are used to maintain the tip in the desired position during placement of the medial crural−columellar strut sutures. A -gauge needle can be used to align the strut during suturing by placing it through the medial crus and columellar strut, then through the opposite medial crus.
Open approach placement of a columellar strut provides superior control and a greater increase in tip projection.

When additional strength and rigidity are needed for the columellar strut gra, a mm wide and mm long piece of harvested septal cartilage is required. A midline longitudinal partial-thickness incision is created on one side of the carti­lage. e cartilage is then folded on itself toward the intact side. e cartilage will bend and break, but the intact surface serves as a hinge keeping the two pieces together. is makes the strut easier to handle and obviates the need to suture the two pieces together. However, this two-layered columellar strut may result in an excessively wide columella.
If additional tip projection is required, the lateral crura may be advanced me­dially. is maneuver is termed the lateral crural steal and is performed with horizontal mattress sutures, resulting in the creation of new tip-dening points on each lateral crus. Suture placement is performed so that the medial vertical segment of the suture lies on the same vertical plane as the original tip-dening point. e lateral vertical segment of the suture then lies  to mm lateral to the tip-dening point. e suture knot lies medially. Adson-Brown forceps are used to crimp the cartilage halfway between the vertical suture segments. e suture is tightened and tied to secure the position of the manipulated cartilage. Suturing of the medial surfaces to the columellar strut stabilizes the tip. Finally, the anteriormost aspect of the columellar strut is cut ush with the tip-dening points. Lateral crural steal is easier when the convexity of the domes is a gentle curve and is not more acutely angulated.
Lateral crural steal involves advancing the lateral crura medially and using hori­zontal mattress sutures to create new tip-dening points on each lateral crus.

Placement of the shield gra through the open approach was popularized by Johnson and Wyatt and allowed a more accurate xation. e degree of tip pro­jection required determines gra thickness and possible placement of multiple stacked gras.
Over time the tip gra can become visible, with thinning of the overlying skin, distortion of the gra, or displacement of the gra. Visibility is primarily a prob­lem when gra edges are appreciated through the skin. To circumvent such out­comes, using blended tip gras such as anatomic cap gras from the cartilage removed during cephalic trim or morselized septal cartilage can alter tip shape while having imperceptible edges. Additionally, meticulous carving of the gra edges is important. Also, using cartilage pieces or additional gras in a stacking manner to obviate dead space behind the gra will create a more camouaged tip if the skin thins.
A graduated approach to increasing tip projection includes placement of a colu­mellar strut gra, followed by lateral crural steal with xation to the strut, and if necessary, tip graing may also be used to achieve greater tip projection.
Septal extension gras may also be used to increase tip projection.

When the increase in tip projection exceeds mm, autologous rib is used for strut fabrication. Rib cartilage is inherently rigid and can be harvested to any re quired length. Initially, columellar struts were carved with a notch on one end. is end was then placed so that the notch seated directly on the anterior nasal spine. Tip projection of  to mm could be gained with this method, but the strut placed in this plane led to signicant widening of the columella and was sub­ject to warping forces. Evolution of the technique led to the use of a .-inch threaded K-wire placed through the strut with one end xed to the premaxilla. Although use of the K-wire evaded warping, it was not without complications. Some authors reported that wires became infected and/or suered extrusion. Be­cause of these problems, K-wires are not commonly used in the columella today.

Carving balanced cross-sections of cartilage should be practiced when creating struts from rib cartilage to minimize warping. Furthermore, these long columel­lar struts can be used with extended spreader gras for additional support and tip projection. Problems with the use of large columellar strut gras include exces­sive widening of the columella and limited mobility of the nasal tip. Such factors must be considered when using a columellar strut gra.
