Short Nose

Introduction
The short nose can be a challenging problem. It can present in the primary rhinoplasty patient, espe­cially in those with congenital facial malformations. More commonly, however, it is a complication seen in patients who have undergone previous nasal sur­gery. These patients generally have problems related to either the failure to correct or to identify a specific preoperative attribute or the aggressive resection of certain nasal structures. In either case, the mecha­nism involved in creating the short nose must be understood. The reconstruction will mainly focus on rebuilding of adequate tip-support structures of the nose.
Facial Analysis
Most patients with a short nose are obvious to the observer. However, it is important to understand the normal and abnormal nasofacial relationships and what defines a true short nose deformity. A decrease in the length of the nasal dorsum in relation to other structures of the face defines the short nose. Objec­tive measurements can be found by dividing the face into vertical thirds. The middle third, measured from the glabella to the subnasale, should be pro­portional to the upper and lower third of the face. Authors have suggested that the height of the nose as measured from the radix to the subnasion should be about 47% of the height of the face from men­ton to radix. distance from the nasion to the tip-defining points.

The short nose also has a decreased
The ideal length of the nose measured from nasion to the nasal tip has been described by Goode as a ratio of projection to nasal length of 0.55:1 to 0.6:1.2 Although this holds true for patients with proper nasal projection, it is a less effective tool for evalua­tion of the poorly supported, under-projected nose. Good aesthetic judgment requires use of total facial proportions when evaluating revision cases.
The length of the nose can also be shortened by increasing the angle of rotation of the nasal tip. The ideal nasolabial angle should be between 90 and 115 degrees. This angle is measured from a vertical line drawn from the subnasion to the upper lip vermil­lion border and another drawn from the subnasion tangentially along the columella. Finally, the nasofa­cial angle should be between 30 and 40 degrees. It is an acute angle measured from the facial plane, a line drawn from the nasion to the pogonion, and the radix to the nasal tip.
In patients with a short nose, findings include over-rotation of the nasal lobule, under-projection of the tip, relative over-resection or under-devel­opment of the nasal dorsum, exaggerated “double break,” and retraction of the alae with alar-columellar disproportion. Revision rhinoplasty patients may also have findings that don’t fit well into ideal naso­facial relationships. For example, patients with only a low radix or poor upper-third support may appear to have a short nasal dorsum but in fact have normal nasofacial relationships. Nasal tip­defining points may be oriented more superiorly than expected based on the position of the colume­lla and the nasolabial angle. Also, under-correction

of tip projection with over-correction of the dor­sum may leave a short dorsal appearance with nor­mal angles of tip rotation.
The nose may also be shortened in its superior aspect through a number of factors. First, a low radix will give the appearance of a short dorsal nasal length in relation to the rest of the face. This may be the result of surgical omission of dorsal hump reduction or failure to correct the low radix. Sec­ond, under-correction of a dorsal bony hump may shorten the dorsal length. Third, and the most com­monly encountered problem of the mid to upper third, is the over-resection of the bony and cartilagi­nous dorsum. Overall, sound clinical judgment and aesthetic sense will lead the surgeon to proper diag­nosis of these factors in revision rhinoplasty cases.
Literature Review
Many articles have been written describing indi­vidual techniques for correction of the short nose. These techniques range from camouflaging of the short nose deficiencies by augmenting the alar car­tilages to rebuilding the structural abnormalities to lengthen the nose. In addition, the function of the internal and external nasal valves must be protected to avoid or to treat nasal airway obstruction.
Saman and Baker discussed five techniques for lengthening the short nose:3 the techniques discussed included the flying buttress graft, caudal septal struts, tip grafts, radix grafts, and interposition grafts. The flying buttress graft, described by Dyer in 1996, uses spreader grafts placed along the dorsal septum that are allowed to extend caudally beyond the anterior septal angle. This caudal extension is then secured to a columellar strut graft at a length appropriate for the new nasal length. This technique significantly de­rotates the tip by elongating the tip-defining point.3 The process of pushing the alar cartilages caudally can also be accomplished by using caudal septal strut grafts, placed caudal to the septum and secured to the medial crura of the lower lateral cartilages. The function is similar to that of the flying buttress graft in that the lobule is also caudally displaced.
The third method of achieving lengthening of the nose is the use of tip grafts. Although there are many types of tip grafts, their placement is critical to their role. Shield grafts are placed caudal to the lobule in the infratip area. These grafts can augment the infratip lobule, providing length to the mildly to moderately shortened nose. Other grafts, such as the interposition graft, are placed between the upper
and lower lateral cartilages to push the tip caudally. This technique is suggested for use in patients with retracted ala in order to give length to the lateral aspect of the nose as well as the tip.3 Finally, the radix graft can correct the short nose that is deficient in the cephalic third. The radix graft will move the nasofrontal angle cephalically and give the appear­ance of a longer nose without movement of the tip.
The radix graft was discussed in detail by Becker and Pastorek in 2001.4 Their article emphasizes the importance of proper preoperative facial analysis determining where the naso-frontal angle begins. The radix should begin at a point parallel with the superior palpebral fissure of the upper eyelid. This effectively “shortens” the nose as nasal length is measured from the radix to the tip-columellar line. The authors describe how a short nose appearance is commonly identified in the revision rhinoplasty patient who has had an overzealous dorsal hump removal thereby artificially lowering the radix and how it can also be found in the primary rhinoplasty patient with a deep or low nasofrontal angle. This effectively “shortens” the nose as nasal length is measured from the radix to the tip-columellar line.
A tongue-and-groove technique was described by Guyuron and Varghai in 2002.5 They employ the use of bilateral spreader grafts along the dorsal septum that are allowed to extend caudally past the anterior septal angle. These grafts are then secured to a caudal septal extension graft at a length that is appropriate for the patient. The authors suggest that this technique is superior to other techniques for several reasons. First, the spreader grafts are used to secure the septal extension graft in its posi­tion. This will help avoid displacement of the graft to either side of the septum. Also, as the spreader grafts are secured to the septal extension graft, there is additional support along the caudal length of the septum, as opposed to a loose columellar strut graft that can be 1–2 mm away from the septal cartilage.
For those patients with a severe nasal deformity and almost complete loss of the bony and cartilagi­nous support of the nose, interlocking calvarial bone grafts can be an option, as described by Leach in
2000.6 These patients often have complete collapse of the nose, giving a short, under-projected, and over-rotated appearance. Leach studied 20 patients who underwent external rhinoplasty approaches for the placement of two calvarial bone grafts. The grafts were fitted together in a tongue-and-groove fashion to a caudal cartilaginous strut and secured to the existing frontal bone or nasal bone if present.

There is moderate tension in the nasal tip second­ary to contraction forces, which are stabilized by the use of strong bone grafts. This necessitates the use of soft-tissue tip grafts to soften the caudal aspect of the bone grafts and to buffer the skin against ero­sion. Although Leach admitted to some problems of bone extrusion or graft exposure due to either the patient’s underlying medical condition, social fac­tors such as smoking or lack of internal nasal lining, the main structure of the dorsum held up well. This technique also incurs much less risk of the warping seen in costal cartilage grafting. The authors opin­ion is that reconstructing the nose with bone grafts is unnatural, too hard, and inflexible.
In contrast, Lee et al. described the use of a com­bined gull-wing conchal composite graft and a rib costochondral dorsal onlay graft for the correction of the moderately to severely shortened nose.7 This technique attempts to correct each soft-tissue and structural layer of the nose independently. The authors performed the reconstruction using an endonasal rhinoplasty technique to avoid tension across a columellar suture line as well as to reduce patient fears of an additional scar. The procedure was performed on 6 females over a 10-year period with an average follow-up of 8.7 months. Specific technical points included the wide dissection and undermining of the nasal soft-tissue envelope, com­posite grafts to supplement the inner mucosal lin­ing and cartilaginous support, and a strong dorsal strut graft to reinforce the framework. The only reported complications included transient epider­mal sloughing of the gull-wing graft. Disadvantages of this approach are the use of multiple donor sites, technical difficulty with the endonasal approach, and the potential for loss of the composite grafts. The authors opinion is that a well designed rib or costal cartilage graft(s) are more natural and can be more easily and safely performed through the external columellar or “open” appreoach. Rib graft reconstruction of the total nasal framework is the preferred and state of the art technique for length­ening these severely shortened noses.
The Short Nose
Although there are many different techniques for lengthening the short nose, they each have in com­mon the addition of support and structure. Many cases involve patients with old deformities where the skin has shrink-wrapped onto the existing struc­ture. If the skin/soft-tissue envelope is placed over a
lengthened nose with no support, it will cause col­lapse. Therefore, in addition to paying close atten­tion to the tip appearance, the surgeon must also address supporting elements.
Once the proper support is in place, other grafts are placed to define the aesthetic points of the nose. Not only should length be a primary concern, but also projection, rotation, and the alar-columella relationship should be evaluated. Changing a defi­ciency in any one of these can directly affect another. Understanding the relationships among these con­cerns is crucial to the surgeon performing rhino­plasty for the short nose.
After the appropriate nasal facial analysis is per­formed, the mechanism that is creating the short nose deformity should be identified. Deficiencies can arise in the upper third, middle third, lobule, and nasal septum. Upper-third problems are related to deep nasofrontal angles as well as short nasal bones. If upper-third problems are seen in the revi­sion rhinoplasty patient, overzealous bony hump reduction is the most common etiology. Further­more, in these patients the deficiency may extend onto the middle vault, producing airway obstruc­tion and internal nasal valve collapse. Patients with congenital abnormalities may have under­development of the nasal dorsum or poor develop­ment of the midface or maxillary structures.
A middle-third deficiency in the revision rhino­plasty patient is also likely to be related to overzeal­ous dorsal reduction. A saddle nose deformity can have an isolated middle-third deficiency with loss of support from the nasal septum. Sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish between the two unless a thorough history and physical exam are performed.
The lobule is the site for much of the structural loss resulting in the short nose. In patients who have had prior surgery, overzealous resection of the tip cartilages can be a major concern. Also, in patients with a deficient nasal septum, the tip can lose pro­jection and rotate upward, even without loss of the lower lateral cartilages. A variety of tip grafts can be used to correct specific deficiencies outside of the loss of its support pedestal. Tip grafts are employed to stabilize the alar cartilages, camouflage irregu­larities, add length to the tip or infratip lobule, and assist in the de-rotation of the nose. In patients with loss of cephalic support of the alar cartilages, grafts can support the external nasal valve and assist in pushing the tip caudally. These can be secured to the remaining lateral crural cartilage using absorbable suture through the vestibular skin. They are placed

laterally into a pocket created to support the graft just outside of the piriform aperature.
Tip grafts add length and aid in the contour­ing of the lobule. This is especially important in patients with exaggerated double breaks or deficits in the infratip lobule. Tip grafst are generally placed so that they add projection to the nose as well as give more fullness to the infratip area. Specific grafting techniques, such as cap grafting, can be powerful tools in lengthening the infratip lobule. If the lob­ule is poorly supported or deficient, reinforcement through strut grafting in the columella and on the alar cartilages may be necessary. Once the support is in place, cap grafts are placed. Cap grafts can also be used to provide additional length on top of shield grafts and in addition to other types of tip grafting. They also allow the surgeon to contour the tip­defining points in a precise manner.
For patients with pinched tips or narrow lob­ules, a blocking graft can be used. Blocking grafts are placed between the domes prior to double-dome suturing. Blocking grafts allow width to be placed between the dome-defining points. They can also serve as a base for cap or shield grafting in the lob­ule. These grafts are secured with 6-0 PDS suture.
Case Studies
Hereditary Short Nose
The heriditary short nose can present in many different ways. Many patients have syndromic anomalies that caused poor midfacial and nasal
development. Others simply have isolated findings that can be found throughout their family. Patients with syndromic anomalies have multiple findings that are beyond the scope of this chapter and are not discussed. We focus on the isolated deformity and present our techniques for correction.
The patient in Figure 7-1 has a hereditary short nose that exhibits several problems. Analysis of the upper and middle third reveals she has a relatively deep nasofrontal angle that is exacerbated by a slight dorsal bony and cartilaginous hump. This gives the nose the appearance of being short due to the disconnected line drawn from the forehead. There should be a smooth transition of the line drawn from the forehead to the nasal tip. The lower third of the nose, or nasal tip, also shows several abnormalities. Analysis of the nasolabial angle shows the tip is a lit­tle over-rotated. There is a deficiency of the infratip lobule and and poor tip definition over all. The dou­ble break in the infratip area is poorly defined. Also, the supratip break is almost nonexistent.
The patient underwent an external columellar approach rhinoplasty. (Generally, we use a high sep­tal transfixion incision to gain acess to the nasal sep­tum for graft harvest. Unlike a complete transfixion incision, this incision protects the tip from forces that can result in deprojection.) The upper third of the nose was corrected with dorsal bony and carti­laginous hump reduction. The low radix was cor­rected with a morselized radix graft fashioned from septal cartilage. The main focus was then placed on the tip, where cephalic trim of the lower lateral car­tilages as well as single- and double-dome suturing

were performed for definition. Length was achieved through the use of a thick shield graft (Figure 7-2). At the same time, this graft also gained more defini­tion of the infratip lobule.
The next patient had a similar hereditary short nose but with different findings (Figure 7-3). The upper and middle thirds of the nose were deficient. This deficiency created the illusion of a short dor­sum, again secondary to the low “takeoff ” point from the forehead. The over-rotation of the tip added to this problem.
The patient underwent an external columel­lar approach with access to the septum through a complete transfixion incision. An identified over-

projection and over-rotation of the tip can be helped if the tip is allowed to settle across the anterior sep­tal angle. The dorsum was augmented with a septal cartilage dorsal onlay graft that extended up onto the nasion. Refinement of the tip was accomplished through cephalic trim of the lower lateral cartilages, single- and double-dome mattress sutures, and finally a conchal cartilage tip graft to add additional length to the infratip (Figure 7-4).
Another excellent technique for strengthening the dorsal and caudal septum as well as position­ing of the nasolabial angle is called the DARTT technique. Described in 1997 by Dyer and Yune, dynamic adjustable rotation tip-tensioning

technique (DARTT) has proven to provide strength to the nasal tip in secondary rhinoplasty.8 A colu­mellar strut graft is sutured to the medial crura as the base for the tip support, which is then secured to septocolumellar interposition grafts. The tip is then extended with a double hook placed beneath the domes. The tip can then be precisely placed into the correct projection and rotation by securing the tip unit to the septum. An increase of tip support by 70% has been documented.
Figure 7-5 shows a patient with a deficiency of
the dorsum, low radix, and over-rotation of the tip.
He is a good candidate for the DARTT technique with extended spreader grafts used to “push” the nasal lobule caudally via the columellar-medial crural strut to connect addressing the deficiency of the dorsal height and overly short caudal sep­tum. The radix is low, creating a deep nasofrontal angle. There is a defiency of the dorsum extending down onto the tip with upward rotation, and alar­columellar disproportion. On frontal view, the nose appears narrow in the upper two-thirds with a bifid tip causing separation of the tip-defining points (Figure 7-6).

Again, we used an external columellar approach in order access the tip and dorsum for grafting and suturing. The dorsum was corrected with an onlay sandwich graft using both septal cartilage and Gore­Tex. This provided a good “takeoff” point of the nose, raising the nasion.
Extended spreader grafts were placed to add width to the middle vault and were sutured in place with 5-0 Monocryl. The tip was refined with a cephalic trim of the lower lateral cartilages as well as single- and double-dome mattress sutures. An alar-spanning suture allowed the convex surface of the lateral crura to be brought inward, further narrowing the tip. Additional length was added using an infratip shield graft. Support of the tip and augmentation of the columella were accom­plished with the columellar strut graft and a plumping graft at the apex of the nasolabial angle (Figure 7-7).
Predevelopmental/Posttraumatic Short Nose
Some have undergone surgery or experienced trauma to the nose in childhood. The cartilaginous septum is known to be an important growth center for the nose. Frequently, if children sustain an injury to the nasal septum that causes cartilage damage or destruction, the overall development of the nose is changed.9 Underdevelopment can also be caused by iatrogenic injury secondary to nasal surgery or nasal septal surgery in childhood. The patient in Figure 7–8 had sustained significant trauma to the nose and septum as a child, resulting in underdevel-
opment of the nasal dorsum. The patient had rela­tively normal development of the lower third of the nose and under development of middle third of the nose. The result was a short nose appearance, with an over-rotated and under-projected tip. The patient also had a deficiency in the normal columellar show, giving her a deep nasolabial angle. This deficient base to the nasal tip and columella was augmented by a Goretex premaxillary graft.
She underwent an external columellar approach rhinoplasty (Figure 7-9). The dorsum was aug­mented with temporalis fascia wrapped around conchal cartilage grafts. The augmentation extended distally to just beyond the anterior septal angle in order to assist in de-rotation of the nasal tip as well as in preventing additional upward rotation. Her nasal tip was refined by performing a cephalic trim of the lower lateral cartilages in addition to single­dome mattress sutures. Additional length was gained by using a shield graft at the infratip lobule.
As a result, the patient obtained excellent length­ening and projection of the nose (Figure 7-10). The plumping graft appropriately filled in the nasolabial angle and the nasal tip was returned to a more nor­mal rotation.
Iatrogenic Short Nose
One of the most common causes of the short nose is seen in patients who have undergone previous rhino­plasty. Problems can be caused by aggressive resec­tion of the bony and cartilaginous dorsum in the upper two-thirds of the nose and by over-resection of cartilage and loss of support in the lower third. The

patient in Figure 7-11 was found to have had over­resection of the caudal septum and over-resection of the alar cartilages, with loss of tip projection.
The patient required total reconstruction of the lobule using alar replacement conchal cartilage grafts (Figure 7-12). Some surgeons suggest the use of
costal cartilage in patients like this. Costal cartilage has the main advantage of being an excellent source of hyaline cartilage in large quantities. Its disadvan­tages include the addition of a scar to the anterior lower chest, a small possibility of ruptured pari­etal pleura, and the tendency for cartilage warping.
