Dynamic interplays during rhinoplasty.
One of the complicating factors in rhinoplasty procedures is its intricate dynamics. Not only is there a complex interaction between the soft tissue and nasal bone frame on each nasal zone, there is an intriguing interaction between the different zones of the nose and the surrounding facial structures. Understanding these interplays is mandatory to proper design and execution of the aesthetic surgical plans. This article has covered the dynamic effects that occur along the different nasal zones, elucidated the control that the nasal frame has on the soft tissue, and reviewed the different ways in which the intended aesthetic objectives can be obtained.
