[Sagittal rhinoplasty for broad noses].
Normal profile wide noses, without osteo-cartilaginous bump, are rare and very few cases have been described in the literature, to our knowledge. Based on a short experience of 4 cases, we describe a surgical variant of the classic rhinoplasty technique. The resection of two osteo-cartilaginous symmetrical quadrilaterals resolves this specific problem with no risk of profile modification with sagging and necessity of reinclusion.
