■ Nasal Tip Surgery: understanding the concepts and using reproducible techniques
LEVEL
B – Comprehensive
CONTENTS
The masterclass will start with an introduction on the aesthetic analysis of the nasal tip as well as the dynamics of nasal tip surgery followed by discussing the etiology and management of all the common tip deformities seen in primary noses. That will include the droopy inferiorly rotated tip, the overprojected tip, the depressed undeprojected tip, the overrotated tip, the wide boxy tip, the narrow pinched tip, the asymmetric tip, the soft-tissue triangle and infratip lobule deformities. Additionally, we will discuss the post-operative protocols we adopt, in cases with thick nasal skin, to get maximum tip definition and avoid pollybeak deformity.
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the masterclass, the attendees should
- be able to accurately analyse all nasal tip deformities;
- understand the etiologic factors behind each nasal deformity;
- fully know the effects of different nasal tip modifying techniques;
- be able to choose the best technique to adopt in each specific deformity;
- avoid complications and provide better postoperative care to patients.
