Approach
If minimal modications of the nasal tip are required, the closed approach with cartilage delivery may be used. If a closed approach is used, great care should be taken to preserve existing anatomic integrity and so tissue attachments of tip­supporting structures. For example, a Killian incision instead of a hemitransx­ion or full transxion incision may help preserve some so tissue attachments that support the nasal tip. For major modications of the nasal tip, including middle vault alterations and all secondary rhinoplasties, we prefer the open ap­proach: it allows direct visualization and accurate assessment of all tip-supporting structures, and it facilitates precise, controlled, predictable maneuvers.
Great care should be taken to preserve or restore the anatomic integrity of the tip-supporting structures.
Intraoperative Analysis
Each element responsible for tip support is analyzed aer adequate exposure. e lower lateral cartilages are assessed for any subtle asymmetries and contour irregularities. e degree of the convexity/concavity, length/width dimensions, position, rotational orientation, and symmetry are closely inspected. Analysis of the length of the medial crura is critical for tip projection and denition. Medial crura that are long and stable are less likely to contribute to loss of tip projection postoperatively. Short and/or weak medial crura can lead to a loss of supratip denition as a result of a decrease in the dierential between dorsal height and domal peak.

e domes are characterized in terms of the domal arch width, angle of diver­gence, and the degree of symmetry.

It is important to relate the lateral, middle, and medial crura together in the analysis because modications made to one will commonly aect the others.
,
For example, reducing the vertical height of the domes using an extended cephalic trim will drop the supratip break on frontal view and enhance tip denition, and improperly stabilized medial crura will re­sult in loss of tip projection and blunting of the supratip break, which eventually produces a pollybeak deformity.
,,
It is important to note that at each point along the algorithm where surgical maneuvers are performed, the eect of each technique should be reassessed.
Manipulation of Lateral Crura
Cephalic Trim
Only when the domes are bulbous or boxy, causing paradomal fullness, is a ce­phalic trim indicated. It is important to realize that cephalic trim intrinsically decreases tip support by disrupting attachments of the upper and lower lateral cartilages at the scroll area. However, cephalic trim is oen a necessary maneu­ver to facilitate tip renement with suture techniques.
e cephalic portion of the middle and lateral crura is detached from the un­derlying mucosa and excised leaving at least a mm alar rim strip. Calipers are used to accurately measure the planned incision. Preserving strong lower lateral cartilages is particularly important when applying tip-suturing techniques that recruit the lower lateral cartilages to enhance the domal shape and height. For in­stance, transdomal, and to a lesser degree interdomal sutures, medialize the lower

lateral cartilages and produce a relative concavity lateral to the middle crura. If these maneuvers are performed in the presence of weakened lower lateral crura, alar retraction, notching and/or external valve collapse may occur.

cartilage
As opposed to cephalic trim of the lower lateral crura, the lower lateral crural turnover ap can be used to preserve this cartilage and use it to correct concavi­ties/convexities of the lower lateral crus, strengthen the external valve, and op pose pinching of the tip caused by tip suturing. is exploits intrinsic concavi­ties or convexities of the lateral crus and repositions these forces into opposition resulting in correction of the deformity. is ap is particularly useful when the lower lateral cartilages appear weak and will help to reduce tip fullness while making use of the intrinsic strength of the lower lateral cartilages.

Columellar Strut Gra
e columellar strut gra is used for tip unication, correction of medial cru­ral asymmetry, maintenance of tip projection, and establishment of a founda­tion for nasal tip renement. strut gra is usually approximately  by mm. Most commonly, the columellar strut gra is invisible between the medial crura but can be made visible when increased columellar show and infratip lobular augmentation are required. e columellar strut gra serves a crucial role in maintaining the additive changes that result from various tip-suturing techniques.
,
Septal cartilage is preferred and the columellar
Columellar struts are the mainstay in providing a stable and strong nasal base that will allow more liberal use of other tip-suturing techniques.
ere are two variations of columellar strut gras, oating and xed. e oating strut gra is most commonly used and is inserted between or caudal to the me­dial crura. Its posterior portion rests in the so tissue  to mm anterior to the anterior nasal spine to prevent audible or palpable clicking against the maxilla. e medial crura are secured to the strut gra with - PDS horizontal mattress sutures at the junction of the medial crura with the middle crura (medial crural suture). Two additional sutures (interdomal sutures) are oen placed anterior to the rst suture to x the medial portions of the domes to the strut. ese inter­domal sutures help camouage the gra making it invisible and nonpalpable. e columellar strut gra is then further rened, trimmed, and shaped, depending on the requirements of the infratip lobule. e oating columellar strut gra can provide  to mm of additional tip projection.

Septal Extension Gra
When more than mm of tip projection is needed, a xed strut gra can be used. Commonly this is har­vested from rib cartilage, notched at the portion abut­ting the nasal spine, and can be xed in place using - PDS sutures to the periosteum.
Paired extended spreader grafts Paired batten grafts Direct extension graft
Dissatisfaction with the control and maintenance of tip projection in cases of midvault collapse (inverted-V deformity) using columellar strut gras led to the septal extension gra described by Byrd et al. is gra can be an extended spreader gra, a batten gra, or a direct septal extension gra. e gra extends beyond the anterior septal angle into the interdomal space. e upward angle of the gra is oen  degrees, and the length of the tip portion averages mm. e gra should be xed inferior to the divergence of the middle crura and to a second point of xation interdomally. Using this gra, the dierential between the domal height and the nasal dorsum plane (commonly  to mm) can be controlled.

Guyuron and Varghai described the tongue-and-groove technique as an eec­tive method to create and maintain tip projection when nasal lengthening is also required. Bilateral extended spreader gras that extend beyond the caudal sep­tum are sutured to the septum and a caudal septal extension gra is positioned between the groove created by the extended spreader gras. Suturing the medial crura to the caudal septal extension gra provides stability to the construct.
Medial Crural Suture
Intercrural or medial crural sutures are the rst sutures placed and can be used in isolation to correct medial crural asymmetries, to reduce aring, and to control the overall width of the columella. e positioning of the medial crural suture is dictated by the underlying deformity and intended goal. If aring is to be altered, the suture should be placed in the region of the footplates. When the goal is to correct convexities and asymmetries in the columella, then the suture should be placed at the apex of that convexity to atten it.

Most commonly, medial crural−columellar strut sutures are placed in the middle third of the medial crura to secure it to the columellar strut gra. Temporary straight-needle xation will help ensure accurate suture placement. Fixation to a columellar strut can increase both tip projection and tip strength simultaneously as the medial crura are elevated toward the anterior septal angle. ese maneu­vers are oen required before other tip sutures are placed because the medial crural−columellar strut complex acts as a point of stability in the nasal tripod, and can limit the dynamic eects suture techniques have on the cartilaginous framework.

is process allows a more controlled and incremental approach to tip renement. As with any tip-suturing technique, the degree of tightening is proportional to the intensity of the eect.
Transdomal Suture
Transdomal sutures are placed usually aer the nasal base has been stabilized us­ing medial crural suturing with a columellar strut gra. is is a horizontal mat­tress suture that is placed through the lateral and medial aspects of the domes. e entry and exit sites of the mattress suture are important—because the su­ture is placed farther away from the dome apex, greater lateral crural concavity and tip projection are produced, depending on the amount of suture tightening. Dierential placement of this suture can be used to correct domal asymmetries of position and shape. For instance, caudad or cephalad placement of the suture

will rotate the lateral crura, respectively. e transdomal suture is a powerful suturing technique, and care should be taken to avoid creating unnecessary ten­sion on the lateral crura, excess concavity adjacent to the domes, and more tip projection than required.
Suturing techniques should be employed incrementally, starting with the medial crural−columellar strut suture to secure and stabilize the columellar strut gra.
If a septal extension gra is used, this is secured to the septum rst, before sutur­ing techniques are employed. Transdomal sutures are commonly required and are a powerful tool in simultaneously controlling tip projection and denition. Medial crural septal sutures may be placed to aect tip rotation and drooping.
Interdomal Suture
e interdomal suture is a horizontal mattress suture placed between the domal segments of the middle crura of the lower lateral cartilages. is suture is rarely indicated without concomitant transdomal sutures, and when used in isolation can potentially decrease tip projection by attening the domes. Transdomal su­tures can be placed rst, because some interdomal narrowing can be achieved. e suture ends of the transdomal suture can be le long and tied to one another to duplicate the eect of an interdomal suture, if indicated.
e interdomal suture technique decreases the angle of domal divergence, nar­rows the tip-dening points, can further camouage a columellar strut gra or septal extension gra and enhance the infratip lobule, and increases projection.
When the suture is placed in the caudal portion of the domes, this technique can also rotate the lateral crura caudally. When improperly placed, interdomal su­tures can have deleterious eects on tip shape by unifying the tip-dening points, reducing domal denition, and excessively narrowing the nasal tip.
