    Summary

    A novel surgical incision for open rhinoplasty effectively elongates a short columella in aesthetic cases. This technique offers a new solution for patients with smooth upper lips, improving surgical outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Facial Aesthetics

    Background:

    • Surgical correction of a short columella presents challenges, particularly in non-cleft patients.
    • Existing methods using upper lip flaps are unsuitable for smooth upper lips, and distant flaps/grafts yield suboptimal aesthetic results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a new columellar incision for open rhinoplasty designed to address short columella deformities.
    • To provide an effective surgical solution for short columella correction in aesthetic rhinoplasty.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified forked flap incision with the base at the columella and legs extending to the nostril bases was developed.
    • The technique was applied to eight patients undergoing aesthetic rhinoplasty for short columella between March 1995 and March 1998.

    Main Results:

    • The new incision was successfully utilized in eight aesthetic rhinoplasty cases.
    • The report discusses the outcomes and efficacy of this novel approach for columellar elongation.

    Conclusions:

    • The described forked flap incision offers a viable and effective method for surgical elongation of a short columella in open rhinoplasty.
    • This technique provides a valuable alternative for correcting short columella deformities, especially in patients without lip scarring.
