Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Rhinoplasty
  • Nasal Reconstruction

Background:

  • Correcting 'Pinocchio nose' deformities, whether primary or secondary, presents significant challenges in plastic surgery.
  • Existing techniques may not consistently achieve optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes for these specific nasal deformities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate an original surgical technique for correcting 'Pinocchio nose' deformities.
  • To demonstrate the efficacy of this novel approach in achieving excellent results in nasal reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • The proposed technique involves the precise elimination of the domes of the alar cartilages.
  • A shield graft is strategically placed at the predetermined desired height to reshape the nasal tip.
  • This method is applied to both primary and secondary nasal deformity cases.

Main Results:

  • The technique consistently produced excellent outcomes in the correction of 'Pinocchio nose' deformities.
  • High patient satisfaction and successful aesthetic restoration were observed.
  • The method proved effective for both initial and revisionary surgical cases.

Conclusions:

  • The described technique offers a reliable and effective solution for challenging 'Pinocchio nose' deformities.
  • Eliminating alar cartilage domes and using a shield graft provides precise control for nasal tip reconstruction.
  • This approach represents a valuable advancement in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery.
