Abstract
Rhinoplasty is the most common of all the plastic surgeries done in the world. It has the aim to reshape the nose and also make it functional. We have to be familiar with the anatomy of the nose, the types of incisions and the surgical approaches we use for rhinoplasty. The basic principles of each rhinoplasty are to make a new nose according to the aesthetic analysis of the face so that it will be appealing and natural. We must not forget our goal during the whole operation and we have got to have all the deep knowledge and also a variety of techniques to help us reach a beautiful final result. Modern rhinoplasty is mainly a structural rhinoplasty. We do not make movements we will regret for; we do not remove but 1-2 mm of the cartilages, so we strictly avoid over resections of bone or cartilage. We want to shape the new nose using suitable sutures and thin grafts so that the new structure will be stable forever. We will analyze how we shape the nasal tip with transdomal sutures, overlay technique and lower lateral strut grafts. We will also discuss the indications for each technique. It is also very important to preserve the anterior cartilaginous septum and also to use grafts to extend it when it is necessary for the stability of the nasal tip.
