ABSTRACT

Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging and rewarding procedures in plastic surgery, requiring an artistic eye and technical finesse. The rhinoplasty surgeon must possess a fundamental understanding of the underlying anatomy as well as an appreciation for the dynamic interplay between bone, cartilage, and soft tissue. A sound operative plan founded on proper and thorough nasofacial analysis is paramount to obtaining a result that blends harmoniously with the rest of the face.
