Abstract:
Objective:To use three-dimensional (3D) scanning to measure the preoperative and postoperative nasal parameters of the patients received rhinoplasty with ear cartilage and silicone prosthesis, and to evaluate the clinical effect of the surgery.Methods:Sixteen female patients with an average age of 28.3 years, ranged from 21 to 35 years, received rhinoplasty with ear cartilage and silicone prosthesis in Wuhan Tongji Hospital from June 2018 to February 2019. Preoperative and postoperative 3D scanning was performed to measure nasal parameters, including linear length, angle, and proportional index.Results:All patients were satisfied with the postoperative outcomes. The postoperative nasal length, nasal height, and nasal depth increased significantly, and the postoperative nasal width and nasal tip width decreased. The postoperative nasolabial angle and nasofrontal angle were statistically improved, while the preoperative and postoperative data of columellar facial angle, nasal tip angle, and nasal column-lobular angle were not significantly different. The ratios of nasal depth and nasal width, nasal index and nasal tip protrusion were improved after surgery, while the postoperative ratios of nasal columella and nasal lobules length were not statistically improved.Conclusions:The 3D scanning allows for comprehensive and accurate measurement of the nasal parameters. The rhinoplasty with ear cartilage and silicone prosthesis is more effective in improving the overall contour of the nose, but less effective in improving the aesthetics of the nasal tip.
