“…There are multiple peer-reviewed articles (►Table 1) and expert opinions [11][12][13] in the facial plastic surgery literature summarizing the advantages of computer imaging prior to rhinoplasty. Studies have shown that computer-aided simulations improved communication between the patient and surgeon, increased patient confidence in surgery, and also enhanced the patient-physician relationship 3,6,[14][15][16] and surgical planning.…”

The preoperative consultation in rhinoplasty involves a multitude of actions that are mandatory for the decision-making process: history taking with attention to the symptoms and specific requests of the patient, clinical evaluation of the aesthetics, the functional status of the nose and the patients' motivation for surgery, and acquisition of standardized preoperative photographs. During the last decade, computer imaging or morphing of the preoperative pictures of the nose has become much more common. This part of the consultation allows the surgeon and patient to reach a mutually agreeable set of expectations by demonstrating the planned outcome of rhinoplasty and describing the objectives of surgery. The evolving literature on computer imaging supports that the benefits for both the patients and surgeons seem to outweigh the risks. Indeed, morphing enables the surgeon to precisely explain to the patients the goal of surgery, and to postpone or even cancel surgery in the group of patients that do not appear satisfied with the proposed changes. In addition, patients may feel more prepared for surgery and have a more realistic view of the outcome of the intervention. Presently, computer imaging is progressing from 2D to 3D models, optimizing the surgeons' capacity to perform morphing in the most advantageous manner for both parties. The current review provides a state-of-the art analysis on morphing in rhinoplasty, putting morphing into a historic and relevant perspective in clinical practice.

“…A major argument in favor of an endonasal approach is the reduction of surgical dissection, resulting in less edema which facilitates wound healing in turn producing more predictable results. 17 It has been suggested that minimal dissection with the endonasal approach creates an ideal envelope for securing implanted grafts decreasing the risk of graft movement and altering the nasal anatomy. 25 Fig.…”

“…16 Over the years, a myriad of techniques and approaches for septorhinoplasty have been described, some based on minimally invasive surgery, which could complicate the task of the surgeon, his field of vision, and his action by working on a limited space. 17 These argue that there is less trauma to the intranasal structures and the support mechanisms, and, therefore, a lower number of complications. 18 Textbooks describe each step of nasal surgery individually, with localized incisions and minimal dissection.…”

Nasal Profile Hump Reduction Using the Let-Down Technique

In rhinoplasty, the nasal dorsum represents an important aspect for form and function. Surgical management should be performed accurately to avoid complications. The goal for dorsal preservation is to preserve the keystone area intact above the nasal bones and its relationship with the upper lateral cartilages. Unlike other rhinoplasty techniques, the lowering of the nasal dorsum requires dorsal modification prior to the surgery of the tip since it modifies the tip position by rotating it. Unlike the push-down technique, that places the nasal bones inside the nasal cavity, producing obstruction of the airway, the let-down technique improves the airway and releases the valve area, making it a functional-friendly technique.

Purpose of reviewFunctional rhinoplasty is a term that is commonly used to describe any technique used to address nasal obstruction in the nasal valve region. Etiology of nasal valve collapse differs based on the site. Internal valve collapse may be idiopathic or associated with previous rhinoplasty, trauma, or weakened cartilage in older patients. External valve collapse is usually idiopathic and less likely to be associated with previous surgery. Various techniques have been developed over time, and the data in support of functional rhinoplasty continues to increase. Recent findingsThis article discusses popular techniques currently in use as well as newer techniques that have been described over the past several years. In addition, there is a trend toward utilizing objective testing and validated assessment scales to assess post-operative changes. SummaryFunctional rhinoplasty utilizes a multitude of techniques to address nasal valve collapse. While high-level data is lacking, the current literature is in support of nasal valve correction to improve nasal breathing. Most importantly, the technique employed is unique for each patient.
