Abstract
In aesthetic rhinoplasty performed by the extramucosal method, the “skeletization” of the nose that is obtained allowsmeasurements during the operation. Thereby, it is possible and useful to preplan the rhinoplasty with more accuracy and to inform the patient about the choice to be made. This new approach to rhinoplasty is safer and more precise and provides for (1) a choice of preplanned result (based on artistic technique and psychological reasons), (2) measurements for the plan, and (3) transfer of this plan to the patient during the operation.Keywords
