de-projection by disrupting the attachment of the medial crural footplate to the caudal septum; once appropriate de-projection is achieved via the com­plete transfixion incision, the medial crural foot­plate is reconstituted to the caudal septum with 3-0 chromic gut suture. If further de-projection is required, the individual dome sutures are placed; then, the entire dome is truncated or excised with a #15 blade. Following this maneuver, the entire dome is reconstituted with the transdomal suture. A soft-tissue onlay graft or morselized cartilage graft is then used to camouflage the tip.
Techniques to Increase Tip Rotation
A graduated approach is used to provide rotation of the tip.6 Evaluation of the anterior septal angle is performed first. If this is not deficient, then one may excise the anterior septal angle with its correspond­ing vestibular skin to provide upward rotation of the nasal tip. Another method of providing modest upward rotation of the nasal tip as well as tip sup­port is placement of the columellar strut. The colu­mellar strut is routinely used to provide tip support and to restructure the medial crural component of the nasal tip tripod. The strut is positioned between the medial crura and extends from the anterior nasal spine to the junction of the medial crura with the intermediate crura. In order to avoid an unnatu­ral flattening of the columella-lobular double break, one should avoid suturing the normally divergent intermediate crural caudal margins.
If more rotation is needed, a lateral crural flap is performed. First, the underlying vestibular skin is mobilized from the lateral crus. Then, the lateral crus is vertically divided approximately 10 mm lateral to the dome. The nasal tip is repositioned to achieve the necessary upward rotation and the overlapping margins of the lateral crus are then secured with two transcartilaginous horizontal mattress sutures using 5-0 polydiaxanone (Figure 3-4).
Techniques to Decrease Rotation
If the nasal tip requires de-rotation, the poste­rior caudal septal angle can be excised. Otherwise, extended spreader grafts used as cantilevers will push the entire lobular complex more caudally, thus providing decreased rotation. Prior to placement of the extended spreader grafts, mucoperichondrial flaps are elevated between the junction of the nasal septum and upper lateral cartilage, thus creating a
pocket within which the spreader grafts are placed. The extended spreader grafts are then sutured to the upper lateral cartilage and septum in a horizontal mattress fashion with 5-0 polydiaxanone.
Special Considerations
Cephalic Malposition of the Lower Lateral Cartilage
Cephalic malposition of the lower lateral cartilage may predispose the patient to inward collapse or recurvature as a late consequence of surgery. To avoid this, alar strut grafts are placed. The alar strut graft is placed in a pocket between the lateral crura and the vestibular skin; it extends from the piri­form aperture laterally to at least two-thirds of the length of the lateral crura. Although this graft may be placed via an endonasal rhinoplasty, an external rhinoplasty affords the surgeon the opportunity to develop the pocket from the cephalic margin of the lower lateral crus, thus making it easier. The graft is sutured directly to the lateral crus with 5-0 Monoc­ryl™; then the vestibular skin is repositioned with 5-0 Dexon™ (Figure 3-5).
External Valve Collapse
In a patient who demonstrates external valve col­lapse, an alar batten graft is sutured as an onlay to the weak lateral crura; a curved portion of the cymba conchae is an ideal source for this graft. The graft is secured into position with non-absorbable suture in a mattress fashion through the graft, lateral crura, and vestibular skin (Figure 3-6).
Alar Rim Graft
Whereas significant alar retraction may require an auricular composite graft, mild alar retraction is effectively treated with an alar rim graft.7 This is placed at the end of the procedure through a small incision made slightly caudal to the caudal margin of the lower lateral cartilage. Then, a 2 mm pocket is created along the rim of the nostril and a linear piece of cartilage is placed in the pocket, thus adding strength to the slightly weakened or retracted alar rim (Figure 3-7).
If alar retraction is significant, then a composite graft from the anterior surface of the cymba con­chae is required and sutured to the edges of the mar­ginal incision.

Postoperative Care
The postoperative dressing is applied as follows: tan 0.5 in Micropore™ tape (3M™, USA) is used for taping the nose and the tape around the lob­ule is pinched slightly to maintain hemostasis in and around the lobule and supratip area. The small brown nasal splint (Integra, USA) is used to provide stabilization of the nasal pyramid and to maintain the medial position of the nasal bones, if needed; the splint is trimmed to size and bent manually to accommodate the nasal bony pyramid (Figure 3-8). A small ball of Surgicel® (Johnson & Johnson, USA) is placed under each dome to re-approximate the elevated vestibular skin and prevent small hemato­mas in this area. A short Telfa (Kendall, USA) dress­ing is placed at the aperture to collect expected nasal drainage. No packing is placed.

Cold compresses are placed over the eyes and dorsum of the nose for the first 36 hours. The patient is seen on the first postoperative day and the Telfa dressing is removed. Postoperative instruc­tions include no heavy lifting, bending, straining, or nose blowing. The patient is to avoid hot, spicy foods for the first week after surgery because they can initiate vasodilatation and epistaxis. The patient is instructed to elevate the head of the bed to mini­mize not only postoperative edema but also the risk of epistaxis. The patient is to clean the nasal aperture with a cotton-tipped applicator soaked in hydrogen peroxide followed by the application of a petroleum-based product four times a day. If an external rhinoplasty was performed, the patient is instructed to cleanse the nylon sutures on the columella with a cotton-tipped applicator soaked in hydrogen peroxide followed by the application

of a petroleum-based product four times a day. On the fourth postoperative day, the columellar sutures are removed. One week after surgery, the patient is evaluated in the office, the dorsal splint is removed, the nasal passageways are suctioned, and the patient is provided with a copy of the preoperative photo­graphs to reinforce the changes acquired through rhinoplasty.
Complications
Immediate complications of rhinoplasty include epistaxis and septal hematoma. In the event of epistaxis, the patient is instructed to use oxymetazo­line nasal spray to minimize the epistaxis. Indeed, if the epistaxis persists despite conservative measures, the patient will need to be seen by the surgeon; the patient is evaluated for hypertension and light nasal packing is used to control the hemorrhage and to minimize trauma to the freshly operated nose. If septal hematoma is identified, then incision, drain­age, and subsequent splinting with silicone septal splints may be required. Of note, mattress sutur­ing of the septal flaps with 4-0 plain gut on a short
Keith needle has significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative septal hematoma and obviated the need for aggressive nasal packing.
Late complications include scar contracture, which can shrink the skin envelope over the modi­fied tip structure and result in a pinched appearance of the nasal tip. This can be avoided by refinement techniques and the use of alar strut grafts. For exam­ple, the thin-skinned patient undergoing rhinoplasty benefits from camouflaging of the nasal tip with a soft-tissue graft overlaying the tip-lobular complex. If the lower lateral cartilages are in the cephalic posi­tion and/or there is inherent weakness to the lateral crura, then placement of alar strut grafts may pre­vent the inward curvature of the alar sidewalls.
Supratip fullness can be treated with intrale­sional steroids. Intralesional steroids are helpful in selected cases of thick skin or revision cases where robust scar tissue is found in the supratip region. Intralesional steroids are started 2 weeks postopera­tively and repeated once, or at most twice, in the first 3-month postoperative period. Subdermal injection (0.1–0.2 ml) of triamcinolone acetonide (10 mg/ ml) is used.

Bony and Cartilaginous Nasal Vault

Surgical management of the nasal pyramid in cos­metic rhinoplasty often results in the most dramatic aesthetic improvement, particularly in the profile. Every patient has his/her own ideas about what type of nasal appearance they desire. The most common reason patients seek rhinoplasty is for a reduction in the overall size of the nose and the desire for hump removal. The second most common reason patients seek rhinoplasty is related to the cosmetic appearance of the nasal tip, followed by the need for improvement in overall airway competence. Man­agement and treatment of the bony and cartilagi­nous nasal vault directly involves two of these three reasons.
Management of the bony and cartilaginous nasal vault requires the surgeon to have a good under­standing of the ideal nasal profile. Certain param­eters have been identified with respect to dorsal projection in relationship to the remainder of the
1
face:
1. The dorsal projection should be approximately
30 degrees from the vertical plane of the face
when the patient’s head is in the Frankfort
horizontal line.
2. The nasal frontal angle should be sufficiently
distinct yet not overly deep, and it should lie at
the same level as the superior palpebral crease.
3. There should be a suggestion of a dorsal
prominence at the rhinion in relationship to the
upper nasal dorsum.
4. There should be supralobular definition with slight supratip depression.
5. The tip should be the leading point of the profile. The dorsal profile is properly identified in the true lateral view with the Frankfort horizontal line being parallel to the ground (the line connecting the infraorbital rim and the superior aspect of the tragus constitutes the Frankfort horizontal plane. Another excellent view for determining proper dorsal profile alignment is the three-quarter view, with the tip of the nose just touching the lateral malar prominence. This gives a gentle curvilinear line from the eyebrow to the tip-defining point without interruption (Figure 4-1).
Consultation
As with any facial plastic surgical procedure, the initial consultation with the patient is of utmost importance for developing a rapport and for under­standing the patient’s goals for the proposed rhi­noplasty. It is very common for patients to bring in photographs of themselves in different situations to show you what they do and do not like about their nose. It is also common for patients to bring in pic­tures of other people, such as models or actresses, to point out how they would like their nose to look. One of the most common concerns for patients seeking rhinoplasty is the nasal profile, particularly

if the profile is too prominent and the nose has either a large hump or a hooked appearance. Patients will frequently comment that they “hate” their profile and that they try to avoid seeing themselves in a side view. Therefore, initial evaluation of the patient starts in front of a three-way mirror. The patient and surgeon view the patient in the mirror in fron­tal, three-quarter, and lateral views. The surgeon can guide the patient through assessment of the entire nasal profile and the profile of the patient’s face.
The first and most important determination of proper profile alignment is the nasal tip projec­tion. The ideal nasal tip projection from the base of the nose to the tip-defining point is equal to the distance from the base of the nose to the upper lip
vermilion.2 Of course, distances vary depending on the patient’s lip anatomy, but this formulation is a useful guide for determining tip projection. Overall tip projection and dorsal nasal height are directly and adversely affected by the projection of the pogonion (chin), which includes the soft tis­sue and bony chin. Chin projection should at least approach a vertical line dropped from the lower lip vermilion perpendicular to the Frankfort horizontal line (Figure 4-2). If the forehead slopes posteriorly and the chin recedes, the prominence of the nose is much more dramatic. Often, patients are unaware of this contribution to the prominence of the nasal profile. Through education, evaluation, and imag­ing, patients gain an appreciation of how chin aug-

mentation reduces the perceived nasal projection
and helps the face achieve a harmonious balance.
Thus, efforts to improve the entire facial profile will
enhance the rhinoplasty result and will allow the
surgeon to reduce the nasal structures to a lesser
degree, maintaining structure, form, and function
in a better fashion, yet achieving a more ideal result.
The rotation of the lobule and the nasolabial angle are also quite important to evaluate because they determine the profile in reference to the upper lip. Visualization of the nasolabial angle and palpa­tion of the nasal lobule enable the surgeon to deter­mine the kind of tip support that will be required to maintain the tip as the leading point of the pro­file after nasal dorsal reduction. In some patients, the profile is led by the septal angle, with weak tip­support mechanisms of the lobule. Lowering the septal angle to achieve a more desired profile can leave the tip with little or no support and requires certain maneuvers to maintain projection.
The length of the nasal bones and their contri­butions to the dorsal hump and overly large profile are important to determine. This information influ­ences the procedures required to achieve a long­term satisfactory result and may in fact dictate the approach to the rhinoplasty itself. The nasal bone parameters, in combination with the height of the cartilaginous profile and the narrowness of the pyramid, will determine whether spreader grafts are required to maintain proper nasal vault width over time.
Finally, in examining the dorsal nasal profile, it is increasingly common to evaluate whether aug­mentation of the nasal frontal angle will reduce the need for dorsal profile bony and cartilaginous hump reduction. By augmenting a deep nasal fron­tal angle, one can achieve harmonious balance in the profile without as great a reduction as would otherwise be required. This is particularly evident in the three-quarter view, as well as the lateral view of the dorsal profile.
Computer Imaging
During the consultation and after history-taking about any injuries and/or functional limitations, the patient’s expectations for the new and improved profile are assessed. This is also done in front of the three-way mirror. However, the best communicative strategy and an important aspect of the completion of the consultative process is to perform computer­assisted imaging, which will actually demonstrate the changes in the profile for the patient to see and agree upon. Computer (digital) imaging is an extremely valuable tool in preoperative assessment, as well as planning and prediction of the final rhi­noplasty result. It is also one of the most valuable tools for allaying patients’ fears about what their nose will actually look like once altered. Nothing is more effective than seeing a properly altered com­puter image side-by-side with preoperative views (Figure 4-3). This is far superior to line drawings
