Cartilaginous Dorsum Repositioning Technique.

ABSTRACT: Hump (dorsum) reduction is one of the most desired outcomes of primary rhinoplasty. However, serious complications relating to the current methods exist. Reduction of the nasal spine by way of traditional rhinoplasty leads to destruction of the nasal anatomy, and reconstruction is needed for aesthetic and functional reasons. As a result, the natural anatomy of the nose becomes altered dramatically. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that the preservation of only the cartilaginous part of the nasal dorsum was possible during hump reduction.

Methods

From September 2018 to December 2019, the author performed a total of 210 rhinoplasties using a cartilaginous dorsum repositioning technique (CDRT). Statistical analysis was also performed.
