Sumario: | Preservation rhinoplasty is a new philosophy in the field of rhinoplasty, focusing on preserving and reshaping nasal structures. However, the authors suggest some patients are not good candidates for preservation rhinoplasty. Patients with underprojected noses and thick skin need a septal extension graft for tip support and to achieve maximum tip definition. In this article, we describe a new technique to combine septal extension graft with the preservation of tip ligaments, called interdomal hanger. It allows the surgeon to benefit from increased tip support in rotation and projection. The technique consists of the preservation of the interdomal ligament, which is then stabilized above the septal extension graft working as a suspensory sling. With this technique, the surgeon can mix important steps of preservation rhinoplasty and benefit from the support of the septal extension grafts. |
