Interrupted and continuous strip technique for tip surgery during traditional rhinoplasty.
The authors report their experience in corrective surgery of the tip during traditional closed rhinoplasty. After a critical revision of the proposed techniques by other authors, the advantages of the "Doberman's ears" and "Butterfly" are given. The choice of the corrective techniques of the tip next to Tardy's algorithm can use a "sequential criterium" after having used a delivery approach. During rhinoplasty it is possible to perform a system of "progression" from one method to another maintaining or interrupting the cartilaginous arch and having as a goal the increasing or the decreasing of the tip.
