Intranasal lengthening of the nose.
A short nose occurs congenitally or as a result of rhinoplasty surgery. The correction is difficult when it involves grafts, flaps and implants. An intranasal technique of lengthening the nose without grafts, flaps or implants is described. It allows the nasal tip to rotate inferiorly, resulting both in an actual and apparent lengthening of the nose.
