“…We then placeed a graft or cartilage bar (strut) between medial crura (Figure 4), we sutured with Dermalon 6-0 taking care of their stability in order to obtain satisfactory results. We then placed the elongated trapezoidal cartilage bar above the medial crura, taking care that it should be 2 mm higher than the height of medial crura which had been already sutured (Figure 5) [3]. With the material removed from the cephalic border of lower lateral cartilage we proceeded to form two circular grafts (Figure 6), which were then fixed with Dermalon 5-0 suture, leaving the knot in the ventral face of the graft and the needle in the dorsal face (Figure 7), and these were placed going through the skin with the needle.…”

Background:The rhinoplasty techniques which are described by most authors are applied on leptorrhine-type noses and have some or no success at all in platyrrhine-and mesorrhine-type noses (Mestizo nose) as for the former reduction and removal techniques are used; whereas, in the latter, increase and elevation techniques are used. Objective. To provide an alternate surgical solution which offers proper results in patients with mesorrhine-or platyrrhine-type nose.Materials and methods: Pre-and post-operative photographic records of 200 patients were utilized in this investigation. The same surgical technique was used in all cases, with variations related to the size and severity of the case.Results: In a case in which no cardinal points were set, some loss of the nasal tip and the natural luminous points in it, as well as some upper depression of lateral crura, were noted. In a case in which no anterior elongated trapezoidal graft was placed, there was no adequate definition of the nasal tip in the natural form of its characteristic double fold. Conclusion:Using this technique can help to define, thin, project and turn the nasal tip, give the height as desired, and lift the nasal dorsum when required. This is a highly accessible technique to lift the dorsum through osteo-cartilaginous or cartilaginous grafts with the anterior support (nasal tip) strengthened. This technique also works to increase the strength of tissue by providing an excellent structural support to the axis columella-alar-nose tip, without any elasticity or movement loss since the grafts are sufficiently thin.

Background Facial features and measurements are utilized to analyze patients’ faces for various reasons, including surgical planning, scientific communications, patient-surgeon communications, and post-surgery evaluations. Objectives There are numerous descriptions regarding these features and measurements scattered throughout the literature and we did not encounter a current compilation of these parameters in the medical literature. Methods A narrative literature review of the published medical literature for facial measurements used for facial analysis in rhinoplasty was done through the electronic databases MEDLINE/PubMed and Google Scholar, along with a citation search. Results A total of 61 facial features were identified. 45 points (25 bilateral, 20 unilateral), five lines (three bilateral, two unilateral), eight planes, and three areas. A total of 122 measurements were identified: 48 distances (6 bilateral, 42 unilateral), 57 angles (13 bilateral, 44 unilateral), and 17 ratios. Supplemental Figures were created to depict all features and measurements using either a frontal, lateral or basal view of the face. Conclusions This paper provides the most comprehensive and current compilation of facial measurements to date. We believe this compilation will guide further developments (methodologies and software tools) for analyzing nasal structures and assessing the objective outcomes of facial surgeries, in particular rhinoplasty. Moreover, it will improve the communication as a reference for facial measurements of facial surface anthropometry, in particular rhinoplasty.
