title: [Anatomic structure of the soft tissue of nasal dorsum and its applications in augmentation rhinoplasty].
abstract: The nasalis--procerus aponeurosis and its clinical applications in augmentation rhinoplasty were described in this paper. According to our experience, the silicone frame can be put in three anatomical layers of the nasal dorsum for augmentation. The paper showed the manipulating points and problems of the operations done through various anatomical layer, and also pointed out that good results can be obtained with the silicone frame being put on or beneath the nasalis--procerus aponeurosis.
