Innovations in Rhinoplasty: Anatomy, Photography and Surgical Techniques

Innovations in Rhinoplasty: Anatomy, Photography and Surgical Techniques is a comprehensive clinical resource that covers the full scope of rhinoplasty, from the basic sciences of nasal anatomy and physiology to detailed surgical assessment and technique. It addresses the psychological aspects of pre- and post-operative care, the patient–surgeon relationship, and the technical difficulties surgeons may encounter.

The book presents an innovative anatomical description of the alar base in relation to the orbicularis oris, along with the newly discovered rim sill folds and Inferior Vestibular Bands and their value in alar base surgery. It also examines the scientific use of photography in rhinoplasty, extending beyond medico-legal documentation and pre- and post-operative observation, with simple and inexpensive equipment, setup, and techniques that allow high-standard photography to be achieved by the surgeon or trained personnel in a small office space.

In the surgical section, conservative surgery to the nasal tip is highlighted as a technique to avoid directly stitching the middle crurae, and the recognition of different nasal skin types is discussed for its considerable role in alar base and nasal tip surgeries. This first edition was published in 2022 and is supplied as a publisher PDF with a file size of 24.5 MB.
