Punch rhinoplasty: A complement to rhytidectomy
1Dalinde Medical Center, Mexico City, Mexico.
Abstract:
The descent of the tip of the nose will betray aging even after a successful rhytidectomy. To ensure a youthful profile, the author presents a simple technique to correct the drooping nasal tip, provided there is no deformation of the lateral portion of the alar cartilage. A specially designed "punch" forceps removes a small portion of the membranous septum. Suturing along the line of the surgical wound achieves a true rhinopexy. In conjunction with rhytidectomy, it is performed under general anesthesia; as a separate procedure, it is performed under local anesthesia. Its simplicity and the short operation time makes this procedure quite remarkable. *** DIRECT SUPPORT *** A0225002 00011.
