[Appraisal of augmentation rhinoplasty with 3-dimension CT investigation].
OBJECTIVE
To appraise results of augmentation rhinoplasty with combination of CT and clinical examination.


METHODS
10 female patients (average 29 years old) of augmentation rhinoplasty with longer than 3 months, period of recovery were selected. All of them received cranial CT examination and aesthetic evaluation.


RESULTS
Although 60% of patients were pleased with their augmentation rhinoplasty, 90% of them existed problems in varied extent, if evaluated by CT-investigation and physical examination.


CONCLUSIONS
modification in prosthesis had a direct effect on postoperative aesthetic effects. In order to improve outcomes and to lower complications, individual prosthesis were required.
