[Conservative rhinoplasty of the nasal canopy].
A rhinoplasty technique is proposed to maintain the integrity of the nasal ridge and to retain the natural appearance of the nose. It is derived from Maurel's technique (1940). After global mobilisation of the bony canopy, the resection of a band of nasal septum immediately under the keystone allows displacement of the nose deeper within the face. The advantages of this method, apart from its simplicity, are: preservation of the entire bony ridge, controlled reduction of the profile, relative autonomy of the nasal tip. The indications for this rhinoplasty are essentially confined to straight noses with moderate and harmonious osteocartilaginous kyphosis.
