Complications of Rhinoplasty - Page 10

Figure 39-3 Patient with overresected bony dorsum and underresected cartilaginous dorsum. Her pollybeak deformity was due to persistent cartilaginous dorsum and was therefore corrected by additional excision of cartilaginous dorsum. Her overresected upper nasal third was augmented to create a more balanced profile. (A) Preoperative lateral view. (B) Postoperative lateral view.

Figure 39-4 Special attention should be given to the columellar incision, and to its closure, when undertaking external rhinoplasty. Great care should be taken to perform these maneuvers properly (see text) to avoid a visible deformity. (From Toriumi DM, Becker DG. Rhinoplastp Dissection Manual.
