Management of the nasal tip by open rhinoplasty.
Open rhinoplasty has acquired widespread recognition in the surgical community in recent years. For many years, traditional closed rhinoplasty was the only possibility for correction of most deformities of the nose. Although it is not the only alternative to difficult nasal problems, the wide exposure achieved with the open technique, the excellent results obtained in the management of the tip and its use as a training procedure for residents, accounts for the new resurgence of the popularity of the technique.
