title: Rhinoplasty for preventing nasal cartilage growth.
abstract: The physiologic growth of the nose, which continues, particularly in females, throughout life, prompted us to develop a technique for preventive surgery. The method consists in producing a scar in the cartilaginous portion of the nose to prevent continued growth of that tissue and to preserve the nose without deformities.
