Abstract

Rhinoplasty is a perplexing procedure due to the variety of complex interplays between anatomical structures of the nose and the maneuvers used to accomplish the intended objective. Although every rhinoplasty is individualized, having a systematic order and an algorithm is crucial to achieve the designed aesthetic goals and a superior outcome, considering the interactions between maneuvers. Otherwise, the accumulated, unanticipated effects will result in displeasing outcomes due to over or under correction. In this report, we describe the sequential steps of rhinoplasty based on knowledge that the senior author has garnered over four decades of experience and having studied the rhinoplasty dynamics continually. Furthermore, we explain the detailed reasoning for each maneuver based on surgical indications and the resulting interplays.Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
