[Surgical methods of correcting skin in various deformities of the nose]

Many-year experience gained in operations on patients with thick porous skin indicates that if such skin is not corrected simultaneously with supporting structures of the nose, the immediate and remote results of surgery were usually satisfactory. After operations with correction of thick porous skin or its dissection in case of excess skin, good results were attained in 78% cases. The authors consider such measures obligatory in repair of congenital deformations of the nose in patients with thick porous skin.
