Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new surgical method for reconstructing lower lateral cartilage using costal cartilage grafts in patients undergoing multiple revision rhinoplasty.
- Conducted on 24 patients from 2019 to 2023, the procedure showed no complications, and focused on restoring support to weak areas of the nose.
- The results were positive with satisfactory postoperative outcomes and an average patient follow-up of 6 to 18 months, highlighting the potential effectiveness of this technique in complex nasal cases.
Objective: The aim of this study is to demonstrate a novel surgical technique in the treatment of lower lateral crural protrusion and external nasal valve pinching.
Method: The lower lateral crural resection technique was used in 24 patients who underwent open technique septorhinoplasty between 2019 and 2022. Fourteen of the patients were female and 10 were male.

Objective: The aim of this study is to propose a new approach in crooked nose deformity with key-stone plasty and asymmetric hump resection.
Method: Twelve patients with crooked nose deformities were operated using the open rhinoplasty technique. Our method, unlike other methods, has two different steps.
Objective: The aim of this study is to demonstrate a new surgical technique to achieve ideal nasal tip rotation and projection with nasal supratip angle in patients with thick skin.
Method: Supratip suture and skin scoring technique was used in 24 patients who underwent open technique septorhinoplasty operation between the years 2019 and 2022. In this technique the nose skin was thinned with scissors.
