Abstract
Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty techniques can be surface or foundation techniques and respect the philosophy of preserving the osteocartilaginous nasal vault. A spare roof technique (SRT) aims to preserve the upper lateral cartilages through surface techniques. In tension noses with considerable caudal septum deviations, the septal can be repositioned after a low strip of septal cartilage is removed, and the SRT-B is used to reduce the osteocartilaginous hump. This inclusion of the low septal cartilage strip in the SRT-B rhinoplasty is termed as SRT-B3 and builds upon the previously reported philosophy advocated in SRT-A and SRT-B. Correction of moderate deviations of the nasal axis and/or the caudal septum can be addressed with this modification.
