Nasal dorsal aesthetic lines and rhinoplasty technical tricks

The greatest challenge in primary aesthetic rhinoplasty is the application of advanced anatomical, aesthetic and ethnic principles to an individual case, thereby customizing the procedure to achieve the most natural result for the patient‐individualized treatment plan.[1,2] Specific factors to be noted during the preoperative assessment for the optimization of aesthetic results include the patient’s ethnicity, gender, nasofacial aesthetic and any specific requests. The endonasal (closed) and external (open) techniques are the two main techniques used in both primary and secondary rhinoplasty.[3,4] With both approaches, the goals are to preserve or achieve normal airflow while delivering an aesthetically pleasing and natural permanent long‐term result. Multiple studies have reported that nasal obstruction is a relatively common problem in patients presenting for aesthetic rhinoplasty, with a high prevalence of nasal deviation.[5] The functions of the nose, specifically respiration, humidification, filtration, temperature regulation and protection, are regulated by the septum, turbinates and nasal valves (internal and external).[5,6]
