Twelve-Year Experience With Nasofrontal Angle (Radix) Augmentation in Rhinoplasty.

ABSTRACT: The nasofrontal angle (radix) has a great impact on the rhinoplasty outcome. Minimal alterations in this area can give an unusual nasal appearance and midfacial length. Different management approaches have been described with regard to radix augmentation. This study aimed to describe the techniques of rhinoplasty, different materials used in the procedure, and results of at least 1 year of follow-up in our 12-year experience in this field. The authors retrospectively reviewed the data of patients who underwent rhinoplasty/septorhinoplasty with radix augmentation performed by 1 of the authors (a senior surgeon at our institution) using different graft materials, between January 2007 and December 2019. Patients younger than 18 years or who were followed up for less than 1 year were excluded
