Increasing the tip projection and rotation in rhinoplasty is a frequently performed and well-known topic. However, when it comes to a high projection and also a bulbous tip structure, it is difficult to correct this pathology and this issue is one of the insufficiently clarified challenges of Rhinoplasty. In these kinds of cases, the patient already has a high and wide nasal tip. Since deprojection is a maneuver that widens the nasal tip and base, it becomes difficult to manage the nasal tip, which is already wide at the beginning. Therefore, it is one of the challenges of rhinoplasty. We would like to share with the participants how we manage such noses in the light of our experiences and current literature with case presentations.
In rhinoplasty, where the tip of the nose will be positioned is one of the most important issues. Especially if the patient has a high projected and bulbous tip. In these cases, establishing the harmony between the tip of the nose and the other aesthetic elements of the face is very important for beautiful and natural results. Our aim in this panel presentation is to share our solution methods and experiences in such cases with the participants.
