Nasal cartilage rearrangement for correction of nasal hypertrophy and tip plication

Nasal hypertrophy is a common nasal deformity in Asian people, which is mainly manifested in the low, flat, and wide nasal tip, and its anatomical basis lies in the overstretching of the nasal flank cartilage and the increase of the angle between the lateral feet. The traditional surgical correction is to excise the cartilage of the upper part of the lateral feet that is overstretching and to improve the angle by performing the dome suture between the cartilage of the two sides, which results in recurrence of hypertrophy of the nasal tip due to the removal of the cartilage of part of the lateral feet, and the formation of the local cavity and secondary scar tissue. In order to overcome the shortcomings of this traditional method, we carried out the anatomical basis of human nasal cartilage, and created the technique of correcting nasal hypertrophy by using the cartilage rearrangement and transfer of the nasal head, so as to correct the hypertrophy of the nasal head and elevate the tip of the nose with the organic combination of the technique, without removing and discarding any cartilage material, reducing the amount of tissue, and improving the quality of the nasal head. This technique combines the techniques of correcting hypertrophy of the nose and elevating the tip of the nose without removing or discarding any cartilage material, which reduces the trauma to the tissues and obtains better clinical results.
