Abstract
The aim in tip surgery is to provide rotation, derotation, projection and deprojection. In this study, we aimed to show the effects of modified low septal strip septoplasty, septal extension graft, TIG technique and additional maneuvers on tip shape in dorsal preservation rhinoplasty (DPR) and to discuss our clinical results. One hundred eighty-nine patients who underwent DPR with modified low septal strip septoplasty between November 2021 and August 2023 were included in the study. Demographic data, complications, revision surgeries and follow-up periods of the patients were analyzed retrospectively. The mean age of the patients is 29.58±9.04 (17-65). The mean follow-up period was 14, 50±2,98 months. Complications were observed in 1.1% of the patients (n=2/189). Revision surgery was performed in all these patients. Residual hump in 2 were observed and dorsum rasping was performed under local anesthesia. No tip revision was performed on any patient. A strong tip fixation is achieved with the modified low septal septoplasty technique described in this publication, and when combined with septal extension graft, tongue in groove technique and other suture techniques, an effective and permanent tip plasty can be performed in DPR.
