External lateral osteotomy in rhinoplasty offers superior outcomes, with less bruising and swelling compared to internal approaches. This method provides better fracture control and minimal nasal mucosa damage, resulting in excellent aesthetic results.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Facial Anatomy

Background:

  • Lateral osteotomy is a critical step in rhinoplasty for nasal bone reshaping.
  • Both external and internal approaches to lateral osteotomy have been utilized, each with potential advantages and disadvantages.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the clinical outcomes and anatomical effects of external versus internal lateral osteotomy in rhinoplasty.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 142 rhinoplasty patients.
  • Cadaveric dissection and in vivo endoscopic evaluation of osteotomy sites.
  • Assessment of edema, ecchymosis, fracture stability, and mucosal damage.

Main Results:

  • External osteotomy resulted in significantly less edema and ecchymosis.

  • Superior control of the fracture line was observed with the external approach.
  • Internal osteotomy caused more mucosal damage, while external osteotomy showed minimal scarring.

    • Conclusions:

    • External lateral osteotomy is a precise and straightforward technique in rhinoplasty.
    • It leads to reduced postoperative swelling and bruising.
    • This approach minimizes nasal mucosal injury and results in nearly invisible scars.
