ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this systematic review is to critically examine the literature published on rhinoplasties in thick-skinned patients to determine how to maximize outcomes in these patients.METHODS:
The PubMEd and Google Scholar databases were searched for clinical studies related to nasal skin thickness as it relates to rhinoplasty surgery and surgical outcomes.RESULTS:
We performed a review of the current body of literature and identified twenty-eight articles that met our inclusion criteria for final analysis. Three articles were level of evidence 1 by CEBM guidelines, while the majority were level 4 (39%) and 5 (32%). Most papers were published in the USA (35%), followed by Saudi Arabia (14%). Here, we outline the current body of literature regarding thick-skinned noses in rhinoplasty surgery and identify optimization strategies.CONCLUSION:
We highlight a management scheme subdivided into preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative timepoints for the comprehensive management of this patient population. Optimal results rely on an individualized medical and surgical treatment plan and regimen to achieve desired and realistic results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
