Abstract
A minimally invasive procedure based on a "suspensory system" is presented for the aesthetic correction of the flat nose. A Goretex monofilament is inserted between the connective tissue and the perichondrium from the septal, upper lateral, and alar cartilages in a quadrangular fashion. When tightened, it shortens the nose and elevates the tip. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis with the patient under local anesthesia. It offers the patient immediate evaluation of the result. No edema or bruises have been observed. At this writing, 8 months after an application of this procedure, no extrusions or collateral reactions have been found.
