ABSTRACT
In rhinoplasty, osteotomy is becoming more and more frequent as a way to achieve aesthetically pleasing and functional results, as well as patient satisfaction. In procedures to correct a deviated nose, osteotomy to correct the bone plays an essential role in addition to correction of the septum and cartilage, and osteotomy can reduce the wide nose bridge and give a slightly higher appearance in Asian rhinoplasty. However, osteotomy is relatively invasive, and the nasal bones of Asians are often low and thick, so bleeding or swelling during surgery can be somewhat more severe, and a stuffy nose can occur after surgery if osteotomy is performed incorrectly. Since side effects are possible, it is necessary to have a precise understanding of the relevant anatomy and technique. Several articles have described nasal bone osteotomy in rhinoplasty, and this review article introduces the methods presented in various articles, describes indications and limitations, and reviews the relevant anatomical structures and techniques in an accurate manner. We introduce a method that can increase patients’ satisfaction and the completeness of surgery through accurate osteotomy, as well as reducing the risk of side effects.
