Topic: RHINOPLASTY in Common Nasal Deformities
Abstract:
There is a high demand for rhinoplasty in almost all around the world. Although techniques used are almost same, results and
acceptance of the results may vary in different cultures.
Preoperative evaluation is critical to understand the desires of the patient. Analysis of photos and computer image editing
before rhinoplasty may be helpful if done regularly.
The nasal tip is the most prominent part of the face. It is both aesthetically and functionally significant. So, it should be the
primary goal of the surgeon to achieve a perfect tip.
The dorsum is the second significant area in rhinoplasty. Various vital aspects must be considered when improving the dorsum.
Culture, personal desires, and function should be kept in. mind while reforming the dorsum, and not to ignore the nasofrontal
abnormalities.
Outcome Objectives:
Understanding the importance of preoperative evaluation and computer image editing before rhinoplasty surgery.
Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of various tip sutures and grafts techniques. Learning the perfection of the
dorsum
Results:
Almost all ENT doctors intend to do rhinoplasty although some of them have not trained well during their residency. So, my
proposal will be an educative session for them. For others, it will be a comprehensive review.
