title: The anatomy of external rhinoplasty.
abstract: The results achieved in rhinoplasty are directly related to the surgeon's ability to elucidate how subtle changes in the bony and cartilaginous supports of the nose will alter its appearance. Therefore, any surgeon who performs rhinoplastic procedures requires a sophisticated knowledge and understanding of the anatomy of the nose. This article reviews the anatomy of the nose from the perspective of the external rhinoplasty approach.
