ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of remodeling the dense dermal fiber structure in the suprapical region on the correction of nasal hypertrophy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out in beauty-seeking patients who underwent comprehensive costal cartilage rhinoplasty with nasal hypertrophy in our hospital from September 2016 to February 2018. The technique of horizontal scratch reconstruction and deep dermal suture fixation at the tip of the nose was used to fix the dense fibrous dermal fiber structure in the suprapical area. Photos were followed up 12 months after the operation to observe whether the suprapical area had arch and upward displacement of the nasal tip.Results:All patients healed primarily, and the patients were satisfied with the effects. Follow-up results showed that only one female patient showed upshift of nasal tip after surgery among the 57 patients with hypertrophy of nasal tip for beauty. The remaining 56 patients had no upward movement of the nose tip and arching of the upper turning area.Conclusions:By reshaping the dense dermal fiber structure of the suprapical area, the suprapical area of the patients who seek beauty after the operation will have a natural transition, beautiful shape and stable nasal structure.
