AI Article Synopsis
- The article discusses the key goals of nasal tip reshaping, emphasizing the importance of precise control over tip shape, position, and structural support.
- Traditional techniques have been inconsistent in achieving these goals, leading to unpredictable results.
- The authors introduce a new surgical technique using a fixed-mobile septal extension graft that offers reliable results for adjusting tip rotation and projection while ensuring stable support and maintaining natural mobility.
Article Abstract
Key goals of nasal tip reshaping include precise control of tip shape and position, along with restoration of proper structural support. Unfortunately, traditional techniques attempting to address these goals have yielded unpredictable results. In this article, the authors detail their surgical technique and discuss the numerous aesthetic and functional benefits of this graft, along with its applicability to a wide variety of patient populations and nasal deformities. The authors' technique utilizing the fixed-mobile septal extension graft has demonstrated reliability in establishing proper tip positioning through precise adjustments to tip rotation and projection, while simultaneously providing a stable structure for maintaining tip support. While fixed at the anterior septal angle, this graft also proves beneficial in maintaining natural tip mobility because of its anterior extension past the septum. The fixed-mobile septal extension graft is versatile and reliable when used for tip reshaping and support.
