Structure approach in rhinoplasty.

Many postoperative sequellae of rhinoplasty can be prevented by minimizing resection of the supporting tissues of the nose and by using structural grafting to increase tip support. Stabilizing the nasal base is a critical step in providing a good long-term outcome with preservation of nasal tip projection. The surgeon must also anticipate the effects of scar contracture, which can aid in creating a favorable tip contour over time and avoid complications.
