Rhinoplasty
A rhinoplasty consists of several phases:
• Resection of the dorsum, which mandatorily requires the narrowing of the base of the nose with lateral fracture of the bones.
• Remodelling of the nasal wall (septum) to straighten up the nose and to obtain rotation of the nasal tip.
• Remodelling of the nasal tip by resectioning and repositioning alar cartilages.
It is often necessary to use a graft in the nasal tip, obtained from the cut cartilages to improve the projection of the tip and the definition of the three nasal profiles. In some cases, a resection of the alar flaps is performed (black and oriental noses).
