Background:
This report aims to demonstrate the advantages of the sliding technique for reducing an overprojected tip.
Methods:
In this study 271 patients (201 females, 70 males) were treated using this technique. It was used for isolated tip hypertrophy (N = 93) and combined deformities (N = 147).
Results:
A medial sliding was performed in 109 patients, a lateral in 125 patients, and a combined lateral and medial sliding was used in 9 patients. Twenty patients needed additional skin resection at the columella. Follow-up of our first 80 patients showed an average reduction of around 11%. Only one patient of 80 in this study had to be revised.
Conclusion:
The sliding technique is safe and reliable as well as a logical and effective technique to deproject the nasal tip.
