    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Medical Simulation
    • Computer Graphics

    Background:

    • Rhinoplasty requires extensive surgical skill and understanding of complex nasal anatomy.
    • Traditional surgical training offers limited opportunities for risk-free experimentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a computer graphics-based software for simulating rhinoplasty procedures.
    • To provide surgeons with a platform for virtual experimentation and learning of nasal behavior.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of interactive computer graphics software simulating nasal behavior.
    • Inclusion of multiple surgical techniques (e.g., dorsal resection, osteotomy, cartilage modification, grafts).
    • Generation of nearly 3000 images representing approximately 200 surgical solutions with accelerated healing visualization.

    Main Results:

    • The software allows surgeons to explore various rhinoplasty techniques on three preoperative nose models.
    • Users can access textual analysis and visualize projected nasal appearance after one year.
    • A wide range of surgical options and outcomes are available for experimentation.

    Conclusions:

    • The simulation software offers a risk-free environment for surgeons to practice and refine rhinoplasty techniques.
    • This tool can augment the development of surgical judgment by illustrating biological responses to surgical interventions.
    • Interactive simulation enhances understanding of nasal behavior and surgical outcomes.
