Abstract

Since 1997, 129 patients have undergone the open approach rhinoplasty procedure. Scar quality with running W incision was compared to the scar with V type incision. According to clinical and statistical evaluations after 6 months, postoperatively the running W incision group showed better scar quality than the V type incision group. The advantages of a running W incision are camouflaging the depressed scar in the incision line and decreasing the angles of the corners of incision lines. Running W type incision is superior to V incision on the columella and may provide less scaring than a single Z, and reverse V incisions according to our long-term clinical results.
