By Jack H. Sheen, M.D.

Dr. Sheen discusses the rationale for this surgical procedure, basing the selection on years of personal experience in the specialty.

This CD demonstrates secondary rhinoplasty on a nose that illustrates nasal imbalance and an asymmetric base. This case is especially interesting inasmuch as intraoperatively there is a radical change from the preoperative surgical plan. Resection of portions of the medial crura exposed a rather striking difference in nostril size, which was handled by changing the type of resection on the right nostril. The patient requested a softly rounded tip, which was the goal with specially formed cartilage grafts to the tip.

The Following Techniques are Demonstrated:
  • Resection of the medial crura for improved nostril symmetry
  • Reduction of the dorsal height
  • Widening of the middle third of the nose (no osteotomy)
  • Septoplasty
  • Lobule-only resection on the right nostril, lobular-vestibular resection on the left nostril
  • Tip graft to achieve a softly rounded tip
