Anatomic Considerations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A thorough understanding of nasal anatomy is essential to successful nasal reconstruction. Addressing deficiencies of the external soft-tissue envelope, nasal framework, and internal mucosal lining is an important part of achieving an optimal aesthetic and functional outcome. The nose is a highly contoured pyramidal structure situated centrally on the face. It is composed of skin, mucosa, bone, cartilage, and intervening supportive tissue, including fat, muscle, and connective tissue. The aesthetically pleasing nose provides a smooth and natural transition from the eyes to the lips. A distorted or deformed nose attracts attention away from the eyes and the lips, thus disrupting the aesthetic harmony of the face. Functionally, the nose is the gateway to the respiratory system. The nose warms, humidifies, and filters the air while allowing inhaled particles to come into contact with olfactory epithelium. Disruptions of normal nasal anatomy can impair nasal function and lead to complaints of nasal obstruction, nasal drainage, and compromised olfaction.
