Introduction:
Lateral osteotomies play an important role in rhinoplasty and can be performed with different techniques.
Objective:
To compare the results of narrowing of the nasal dorsum and base through 2 types of lateral osteotomy: continuous and microperforating.
Method:
We selected 74 patients undergoing rhinoplasty: 37 patients underwent lateral continuous osteotomy and the other 37 underwent microperforating osteotomy, all performed by the same surgeon. We analyzed frontal photography from the pre- and post-operative (6 months) periods, evaluating the width of the nasal dorsum and base. This was a retrospective study.
Results And Conclusion:
Using Student's t-test, statistical analysis concluded that there was a statistically significant difference in the post-operative narrowing of the nasal dorsum and base following both osteotomy techniques, and there was no statistically significant difference between the 2 techniques.
