¸ñÀû: To highlight the various techniques that can be used to correct such
dimpling on the nasal tip ¹æ¹ý:The retrospective study included 44 patients who underwent correction of
post rhinoplasty depressed nasal tip scars from Feburary 1, 2012, through
June 31, 2014. We used 5 kinds of technique to correct dimple scar soft
tissue or cartilage insertion, unilobed flap, bilobed flap, transposition
flap and z-plasty. °á°ú:Soft tissue or cartilage insertion has been used in 18 patients, unilobed
flap in 10 patients, bilobed flap in 6 cases, transposition flap in 3 cases
and z-plasty in 7 cases. Most of the patients were satisfied with their
outcomes, but 3 cases required scar revision and another 2 cases required
revision for unsatisfactory result which ultimately yielded satisfactory
results. °á·Ð:These techniques are easily reproducible and the choice of the technique
depends on the size, location of the scar, skin condition, patient
expectations, the surgeons experience and comfort levels with the
procedures. |
