This study presents a closed suture suspension technique for nasal tip rotation in rhinoplasty. The method provides predictable, controllable, and long-term stability for the nasal tip position.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Facial Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Nasal tip rotation is crucial in rhinoplasty for aesthetic outcomes.
  • Suture techniques offer predictable, controllable, and nondestructive methods for tip rotation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple, closed-method suture suspension technique for nasal tip rotation.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and long-term stability of this technique.

Main Methods:

  • A closed suture suspension technique utilizing the osteocartilaginous junction as an anchor.
  • A guide is used to position sutures across the medial alar cartilage domes and osteocartilaginous junction.

Main Results:

  • The technique was applied to 30 patients with nasal tip ptosis (21 primary, 9 secondary rhinoplasty).

  • Satisfactory results were achieved in all patients, with minimal tip asymmetries in four.
  • Long-term maintenance of nasal tip projection was observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • The suspension suture technique effectively achieves optimal nasal tip position.
    • The osteocartilaginous junction serves as a stable pillar for long-term nasal tip support.
