Abstract:
The refinement of nasal tip rotation and projection is a critical step in tip sculpting in augmentation rhinoplasty. Autologous cartilage material is widely used in rhinoplasty due to its good histocompatibility and support. However, in clinical work, the profile of the nasal tip after autologous cartilage rhinoplasty often changes over time, with the phenomenon of downward rotation of the nasal tip and reduced tip projection. Thus, how to construct a stable nasal tip cartilage framework is a common problem for clinicians. This review encompasses the relevant content of nasal tip dynamics and measurement, the recent approaches to constructing the nasal tip cartilage framework, the factors influencing tip rotation and projection after rhinoplasty, the dynamic changes in nasal tip morphology after surgery, and summarizes the method to mitigate the downward rotation of the nasal tip and variations in nasal tip projection, with the aim to guide intraoperative adjustment of nasal tip morphology.
