Evaluation of the Goldman Tip Procedure in Modern-Day Rhinoplasty

Abstract

To present a critical review of a single surgeon's long-term results using the Goldman tip procedure and to examine the current attitudes of a select group of experienced rhinoplasty surgeons concerning the Goldman tip procedure. Design: A retrospective review was conducted of the medical records of all patients who underwent a Goldman tip procedure performed by the senior author (R.L.S.) between 1975 and 2001. Demographic data, long-term outcomes (minimum follow-up, 1 year), complications, and surgeon-patient satisfaction were analyzed. Also, surveys were mailed to a select group of 50 experienced rhinoplasty surgeons. The survey recipients were asked about their current use of the Goldman tip procedure and any concerns about the technique. Results: A total of 166 cases were eligible for analysis. The mean age of the patients was 33.7 years, and a large

This report aims to present our personal technique for improving tip projection and definition.…”
