Primary Rhinoplasty Combined with Pyriform Aperture Augmentation in Asians

To explore a pyriform aperture augmentation method that is suitable for Asian patients with mid-face concavity, we designed a novel prosthesis to perform pyriform aperture augmentation. Three different rhinoplasty schemes are designed according to the degree of mid-face concavity: (1) simple implantation around the pyriform aperture, (2) implantation around the pyriform aperture and augmentation rhinoplasty is performed concurrently, and (3) implantation around pyriform aperture combined with nasal extension technique. Comprehensive rhinoplasty with pyriform aperture augmentation can substantially improve the aesthetic relationship between nasal and facial areas. This technique is suitable for comprehensive rhinoplasty of Asian patients with mid-face concavity.
