Abstract:
In septo-rhinoplastic surgery it is helpful to follow a logical series of stages for correcting abnormalities of various anatomic components of the nose. A suggested order of staging of the typical nasal plastic operation is presented. By following a logical sequence of surgical stages, the least correctable components are modified first, and each successive stage of the procedure is related to the result obtained in the previous stage. Technical considerations are presented in each stage suggested, and the analysis and correction of intranasal abnormalities to restore normal nasal function is emphasized. Specific preoperative problems and the results of suggested methods of correction are presented.
