Desired Outcomes

The purpose of this course, through lecture, video, and discussion, is to provide both the forest and the trees: the structural interrelationships and phenomenology of rhinoplasty healing and the reliable techniques (airway management and dorsal, radix, spreader, tip, and alar wall grafts) that will allow every surgeon to make a preoperative diagnosis and carry out that planned operation with security and safety.

Description

Do you create an excellent nasal skeleton but get an unacceptable result? Are you confused about how many sutures, struts, and grafts you need to create excellent tip shape? Are you unsure about increasing nasal function in each operation? Do you create new deformities without understanding how? Does your preoperative plan become irrelevant once you open the nose?

It’s not your fault. Current rhinoplasty teaching is non-anatomical and too complicated. There is a better way. We will show you that only three preoperative shapes predict postoperative failure. Only 4 anatomical variations characterize them. Only 2 surgical strategies and 4 graft techniques correct most common nasal deformities. These principles and techniques are applicable to primary and secondary patients, asymmetries, clefts, and transgender patients.
