3D Virtual Planning for Rhinoplasty Using a Free Add-On for Open-Source Software.

Background: Rhinoplasty is one of the most frequent aesthetic surgeries; the procedure can be challenging for inexperienced surgeons, and positive outcomes depend on good communication with the patient, proper planning, and precise execution. Three-dimensional (3D) technology has emerged to address these issues, but specific software for 3D planning tends to be expensive.

Objectives: This study presents a simple, low-cost method for 3D simulation to plan rhinoplasty.
