Rhinoplasty Dissection Planes (Subcutaneous, Sub-SMAS, Supra-perichondral, and Sub-perichondral) and Soft Tissues Management

Abstract: Rhinoplasty as an operation is akin to a game of chess, where every maneuver will influence the eventual outcome. Undoubtedly, more than one approach to the nasal soft tissues envelop can produce beautiful and safe results as will be described in the paper namely, the subcutaneous, sub-superficial musculoaponeurotic system, supra- and sub-perichondral planes. For different justifiable reasons surgeons have their preferences, regarding dissection planes on the tip, middle and upper thirds, and regarding the man… Show more

“…10 The nose is composed of bony and cartilaginous structures, having five layers: skin (1st layer); subcutaneous fat (2nd layer); the nasal superficial musculoaponeurotic system-SMAS (3rd layer); a loose areolar layer that includes deep adipose tissue (4th layer); followed by the perichondrium, connected to the cartilage, or the periosteum, connected to the bone (5th layer). [10][11][12] The skin of the upper and middle thirds of the nose is thin and pliable, while the skin overlying the tip is thicker and more attached to the cartilaginous structure. The interspace between skin and bone/cartilage averages 4.0 mm, being broader at the nasal root.…”

“…However, when we expose the cartilage, without the perichondrium protection, it becomes more fragile at the time of manipulation, as has also been observed in the lower lateral cartilages in nasal tip surgery (11). When applying traction forces on the septal cartilage, with no perichondrium protecting it, the cheese-wire phenomenon is very often observed, with the cartilage tearing with the purpose of the suture being lost.…”

“…10 However, when we expose the cartilage, without the perichondrium protection, it becomes more fragile at the time of manipulation, as has also been observed in the LLCs in nasal tip surgery. 11 When applying traction forces on the septal cartilage, with no perichondrium protecting it, the cheese-wire phenomenon is very often observed, with the cartilage tearing with the purpose of the suture being lost. Even though this phenomenon is not evident during surgery, the force applied to the cartilage will condition some laceration in the immediate postoperation, which results from the constant force of suture over a weak cartilaginous tissue.…”

“…Using a two-prong retractor, the assistant counter-tracts the flap upward. While performing supra-perichondrial dissection, the lateral crus is dissected along the previously made marginal incision [3]. During this process, 3-point traction around the LLC helps with the dissection [4].…”
