e medial crus becomes the middle crus at the columellar-lobular junction, and the middle crus becomes the lateral crus at the domal junction. e medial crus determines tip projection and tip support and serves as the caudal leg of the nasal tripod.
,
At the junction of the medial and middle crura, the trajectory of the lower lateral cartilage changes to a more cranial direction, rotating along its long axis. is change in angulation denes the columellar-lobular angle and marks the beginning of the infratip lobule. e middle crus diverges from the midline to form the dome of the lower lateral cartilage. is dome marks the transition of the middle crus to the lateral crus and corresponds to the tip-dening points, which delineate the superior aspect of the lobule. e lateral crura determine the amount of alar support and tip rotation, forming the other two (cranial) legs of the nasal tripod.
CLINICAL ANALYSIS AND PLANNING
Clinical nasal analysis is performed in a systematic fashion that is well described in Chapter . Evaluation of the infratip lobule begins with the alar-columellar relationship and the shape of the lower third of the nose. e alar-columellar relationship is inuenced by the underlying interactions between the medial, middle, and lateral crura. e shape and strength of the lower lateral cartilage can be estimated by examination of the alar-columellar relationship. Establish­ment of a normal alar-columellar relationship will ensure proper positioning of the medial, middle, and lateral crura.

Anatomically the infratip lobule overlies the middle crura of the lower lateral cartilages. As a result, the shape and projection of the infratip lobule are based on the middle crura. Specic deformities of the middle crura are oen revealed intraoperatively. However, evaluation of the basal view can provide an indica­tion of their length. In an ideal nose, the columella/lobule ratio is approximately :. When the lobular portion is excessive, the middle crura are likely elongated. Equally important is the angle of departure between the lateral crus and the alar rim and the rotational orientation of the lateral crus with respect to its cranial and caudal edges. A lateral crus with a large angle of departure from the alar rim will have a recessed and weak facet, causing a pinched tip and overprojected infratip lobule. is is oen superimposed onto an abnormal rotational orienta­tion with the caudal edge of the lateral crus below the cranial edge, which com­pounds the deformity. Alar support procedures such as a lateral crural strut gra or alar contour gra can oen compensate for weaknesses in alar support.

is conguration is common in patients undergoing primary rhinoplasty who have very weak lower lateral cartilages. A rotational orientation with the caudal edge above the cranial edge will produce alar notching and nostril aring, also leading to excess infratip lobular projection. Deformities including alar retrac­tion or discrepancies in the alar-columellar relationship are seen in secondary rhinoplasty patients who have a weak or diminutive lower lateral cartilage aer overzealous excision.
Infratip lobular deformity can be caused by structures other than the lower lateral cartilage. Prominence of the anterior septal angle and caudal septum, plunging tips, and tension tips can lead to excess infratip lobular projection. Maneuvers that correct these problems include caudal septal resection and dorsal reduction, with appropriate medial crural and columellar support.

CLASSIFICATION OF INFRATIP LOBULAR DEFORMITIES
Five types of infratip lobular deformities have been described. eir cause is ei­ther intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic causes are deformities or abnormalities in the lower lateral cartilage, whereas extrinsic causes involve structures other than the lower lateral cartilage. Correct classication is dependent on a thorough preop­erative nasal analysis and intraoperative conrmation of the anatomy.
Classication and Causes of Infratip Lobular Deformities
Type
I Intrinsic; middle crus too long
II Intrinsic; middle crus too wide III Intrinsic; lower lateral cartilage malposition or asymmetry IV Intrinsic; combination of intrinsic type I, II, and III abnormalities
V Extrinsic; prominent caudal septum or anterior septal angle
Cause
Type I: Intrinsic, Middle Crus Too Long
Lateral crus
Medial crus
Middle crus
In type I deformities, the middle crus is too long. e excess vertical height of the middle crus is limited by its surroundings, causing it to buckle or bow out­ward inferiorly. is results in excess infratip lobular projection. Depending on the relative lengths of the middle crura, this can be symmetrical or asymmetri­cal between the le and right sides. In addition to an overprojecting lobule, the deforming forces of a buckled middle crus can cause asymmetries of the lateral crus or the tip-dening point, leading to associated tip asymmetries.

Type II: Intrinsic, Middle Crus Too Wide
Lateral crus
Medial crus
Middle crus
In type II infratip lobular deformities, the middle crus is too bulky or wide. is may or may not be associated with discrepancies in vertical height. A wide middle crus will push on the infratip lobule, causing overprojection. Although the trajectory of the middle crus is within normal limits, the eect of bulk and width pressing on the so tissue envelope is prominence of the infratip lobule. is deformity is oen seen in conjunction with a boxy or bulbous tip.

Type III: Intrinsic, Lower Lateral Cartilage Malposition or Asymmetry
Lateral crus
Medial crus
Middle crus
Type III infratip lobular deformities have a malpositioned or asymmetrical lower lateral cartilage. is most oen relates to the angle of departure between the lateral crus and the alar rim or to the rotational orientation of the lateral crus with respect to its cranial and caudal edges. In an ideal infratip lobular projection, the cranial and caudal edge of the lateral crus lie in the same plane. Malposition of the lower lateral cartilage is oen superimposed on intrinsic asymmetries or deformities that require suture correction.

Type IV: Intrinsic, Combination of Type I, II, and III Abnormalities
Lateral crus
Medial crus
Type IV infratip lobular deformities involve a combination of types I, II, and III. Multiple asymmetries and deforming forces are common, and the middle crus is too long (type I) and too wide (type II). e le and right middle crura may be similar but are oen asymmetrical. Deformities of the middle crura are oen superimposed on abnormalities of lower lateral cartilage (type III).
Type V: Extrinsic, Prominent Caudal Septum or Anterior Septal Angle
Lateral crus
Medial crus
Type V infratip lobular deformities are extrinsic to the lower lateral crura.  A prominent caudal septum or anterior septal angle can displace the infratip lob­ule, causing prominence. Septal abnormalities can also cause distortions in na­sal length (long nose), nasal height (tall nose), the columellar-labial angle, or the columellar-lobular angle, all of which can lead to a perceived excessive infratip lobular projection. Furthermore, septal prominence can contribute to a tension tip or a plunging tip, causing overprojection of the infratip lobule.

OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE
e operative technique requires analysis and classication of the infratip lobular abnormalities. e surgical approach to the correction of excess infratip lobu­lar projection treats each type of deformity in a stepwise fashion from medial to lateral.

If a prominent caudal septum is causing overprojection of the middle crus and infratip lobule, the caudal septum is trimmed.
e rst maneuver in the correction of intrinsic deformities is to verticalize the medial crus by placing a medial crural suture. is maneuver will dene the junc­tion of the medial and middle crura. With the incorporation of portions of the middle crus, a high intercrural suture can shorten the middle crus by absorb­ing its length and by denition control the projection of the infratip lobule. is suture also begins to dene the amount of tip projection and provides a stable middle base for the nasal tripod. In patients with weak tip support, a columel­lar strut gra is incorporated. is technique is used to treat type I deformities.

e shape of the middle crus can be changed by cephalic trim, and in some cases caudal trim is required. is will control its width. Excess width or bulk of the middle crus can lead to excess infratip lobular projection and paradomal full­ness and bulbosity. Cephalic trim is performed to create symmetrical crura and improve tip denition and lower lateral symmetry. If the lower lateral cartilage is weak or convoluted, a lateral crural turnover ap can be placed to narrow the width of the alar rim strip while using the intrinsic forces in the cartilage to im­prove the shape and strength of the lateral crus. e caudal aspect of the middle crus can be trimmed if necessary. If tip support is a concern, resection of the an terocaudal septal angle can achieve the same eect as caudal trim of the middle crus without weakening the lower lateral cartilage. is technique is used to treat type II deformities.

e junction of the middle and lateral crura is set using an interdomal suture.  In some cases, a shaped columellar strut gra with intercrural sutures is required. Placement of the initial interdomal suture narrows the angle of divergence and begins the process of dening the junction of the middle crus with the lateral crus and the tip-dening points. is technique is used to treat type III and typeI deformities.

At this point, intrinsic asymmetries of the lower lateral cartilages are noted, and the rotational orientation of the lateral crus is adjusted. Transdomal sutures will dene the junction of the middle and lateral crura, establish the length and shape of the middle crus, and determine infratip lobular projection. Transdomal su­tures are usually placed toward the leading edge of the lower lateral cartilage. A slightly more caudal placement derotates the tip and controls the infratip lobu­lar projection. Dierential placement of transdomal sutures in the craniocaudal dimension allows shaping to improve symmetry of the domes and changes the rotational orientation of the lateral crus. ese sutures will nalize the shape of the tip-dening points and the infratip lobule. e endpoint of transdomal su­turing is a straight and at lateral crus and proper rotational orientation.

e more convex the lateral crus, the larger the bite and the more lateral the placement. A lateral crus that is less convex requires a more medial, smaller bite. e nal result of transdomal suture placement is a symmetrical, aesthetic nasal tip with well-proportioned crura. e precise placement of the transdomal su­tures cannot be overemphasized. e position and orientation of the transdomal sutures will sculpt the tip and rotate the lateral crus. e rotation of the lateral crus will determine the rim elevation and the appearance of the infratip lob­ule. Alar rim position corresponding to a rotational level in which the cephalic and caudal edges are on the same plane will provide an ideal infratip lobular projection.
