Rhinoplasty is a perplexing procedure due to the variety of complex interplays between anatomical structures of the nose and the maneuvers used to accomplish the intended objective. Although every rhinoplasty is individualized, having a systematic order and an algorithm is crucial to achieve the designed aesthetic goals and a superior outcome, considering the interactions between maneuvers. Otherwise, the accumulated, unanticipated effects will result in displeasing outcomes due to over or under correction. In this report, we describe the sequential steps of rhinoplasty based on knowledge that the senior author has garnered over four decades of experience and having studied the rhinoplasty dynamics continually. Furthermore, we explain the detailed reasoning for each maneuver based on surgical indications and the resulting interplays.Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Article Synopsis
- The nasal valves are complex, 3D structures rather than simple 2D shapes, characterized by their collapsible and varying nature.
- Historically, the internal nasal valve's boundaries are defined by the septum on one side, upper lateral cartilage on another, and the inferior turbinate below, typically located about 1.3 cm inside the nasal cavity.
- New computational methods are providing deeper insights into nasal valve function, suggesting that surgeons need a fresh conceptual framework for rhinoplasty procedures.
Surgical treatment of traumatic nasal avulsion in a brachycephalic dog.

Article Synopsis
- The case report details the treatment of a 6-year-old spayed female pug who suffered from traumatic nasal avulsion injuries leading to breathing difficulties.
- Initial surgery included facial reconstructive work and later procedures involved balloon dilatation and rhinoplasty to address narrowed nasal passages and cartilage issues.
- Follow-up assessments showed significant improvement in airflow and quality of life, with the dog living well for 2 years post-surgery before passing due to unrelated health issues.
Internal Nasal Valve Collapse Treatment by Endonasal Hyaluronic Acid Injection.

Article Synopsis
- This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid injections for treating internal nasal valve collapse (IVC) in patients who experienced nasal obstruction after rhinoplasty.
- It involved a group of 22 adult patients who underwent rhinomanometry and completed symptom questionnaires before and after receiving the injections, with significant improvements noted one month after treatment.
- Results showed that 91% of patients were below the diagnostic threshold for IVC one month post-injection, and both subjective and objective measures of nasal obstruction significantly improved, suggesting hyaluronic acid could be a viable non-surgical treatment option for IVC.

Successful treatment of nasal airway obstruction depends on accurate diagnosis of the underlying etiology. Lateral wall insufficiency (LWI) is a common cause of obstructed nasal breathing and should be recognized and treated accordingly by the rhinoplasty surgeon. LWI refers to dynamic collapse of the lateral nasal sidewalls at the internal (zone 1) and external (zone 2) nasal valves.
