title: Deprojection of the nasal tip in revision rhinoplasty.
abstract: Overprojection in revision rhinoplasty can be the result of underaddressed anatomic variations, iatrogenic causes including overresection of the nasal dorsum, or the healing process. Management of nasal tip overprojection in revision rhinoplasty can be very difficult, and the revision rhinoplasty surgeon must have a multitude of techniques available to treat the various causes of nasal tip overprojection. An algorithm is presented to properly approach and treat nasal tip overprojection.
