Abstract:
There is ample instructive literature on preoperative analysis of the rhinoplasty patient available to the present day provider. However, the literature does show a paucity of instruction to convert the preoperative analysis into a surgical plan of action. The purpose of this article is to provide a systematic approach to preoperative planning once the analysis has been done. It is our hope that the approach outlined within this article will assist students of rhinoplasty in devising an operative course and formulation of a systematic approach to operative planning.
