Abstract
For the last 4 years, the author has been using the open lower cartilaginous vault rhinoplasty, making an external cutaneous incision on the columella. After observing the improved results in patients with nasal tip, lateral crura, and medial crura difficulties, the author widely recommends the use of this procedure in selected patients. In addition to multiple advantages which have been reported useful in open-tip rhinoplasty in the past, the author has contributed two additional advantages: that it avoids scarring columella skin and that it can be extended to cope with defects of the entire lower cartilaginous vault. Disadvantages are some residual edema in some patients over a 6-months period and prolongation of operating time.
