Facial plastic surgeons face challenges correcting short noses. This study presents techniques and an algorithm for nasal lengthening, focusing on tip rotation and graft selection for optimal aesthetic outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Facial Aesthetics
  • Rhinoplasty Techniques

Background:

  • Aesthetically short nose correction is a complex challenge in facial plastic surgery.
  • Various surgical techniques exist, but a structured approach is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss principal techniques for nasal lengthening.
  • To propose an algorithm for nasal lengthening based on tip rotation.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of five principal nasal lengthening techniques: flying buttress graft, caudal septal grafts, tip grafts, radix grafts, and interposition grafts.
  • Illustrative cases and figures are used to demonstrate concepts.
  • An algorithm is proposed correlating technique selection with desired tip rotation.

Main Results:

  • Specific graft types (triangular caudal septal, shield grafts) are effective for moderate lengthening with over-rotated tips.
  • Flying buttress or interposition grafts achieve substantial lengthening and derotation.
  • Rectangular caudal septal or full-length shield grafts are suitable for adequately or under-rotated tips.
  • Radix grafts can augment the nasion, used alone or with other grafts.

Conclusions:

  • Nasal lengthening techniques should be chosen based on the degree of tip rotation.
  • An algorithmic approach aids in selecting the most effective technique for aesthetic short nose correction.
