Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty: Method and Outcomes of the Modified Subdorsal Strip Method. Facial plastic surgery clinics of North America Patel, P. N., Abdelwahab, M., Most, S. P. 2021; 29 (1): 29–37

Abstract

There has been particular recent interest in dorsal preservation rhinoplasty techniques because of claims of superior functional and aesthetic results relative to conventional hump reductions. The septum in dorsal preservation rhinoplasty is managed in a variety of ways with differences largely based on the location of septal excision (subdorsal resection, midseptal resection, and inferior septal resection). The technical considerations of a modified subdorsal strip method using a structural preservation technique are described. This technique maintains a subdorsal and caudal strut of cartilage. Patient-reported measures demonstrate significantly improved functional and aesthetic outcomes postoperatively with this procedure.
