Background:
Various techniques are used to maintain retraction of the skin flap during open-approach rhinoplasty.
Objective:
This report aims to present the use of maxillofacial retractors in open-approach rhinoplasty, a previously undescribed technique.

This technique allows the surgeon and assistant to proceed with surgery without needing to maintain retraction with a hand-held instrument.
