ABSTRACT
METHODS:
Between August 2012 and August 2015, modified PTFE prosthesis rhinoplasty was used to correct low nose and short columella in 52 patients. There were 4 males and 48 females, aged 19 to 45 years (mean, 27 years). Primary rhinoplasty was performed in 47 cases; secondary rhinoplasty was performed in 5 cases, and it was 12-18 months from the first operation (mean, 15 months). During operation, a scaly sag ventral side was made by carving and moving cap shaped nose prosthesis was prepared, and nasal dorsumnasal columella prosthesis covered by tension-free flap was designed. At pre-operation and last follow-up, Image ProPlus 6.0 software was used to measure the nose length, nose depth, nose tip width, nostril/nose tip, nasolabial angle, and nasal tip rotation for evaluation of external nose shape correction; and ultrasound was used to measure the alar cartilage angle, alar two vertex distance, and nose tip to vertex distance for evaluation of internal soft tissue changes; the prosthesis position was observed by CT scan at 12 months.
