2.2.2 Incisions
Incisions placed in the cartilage are better at withstanding scar
contracture forces that may occur during the wound healing
period and reduce the possibility of distortion and asymme-
try. These incisions are called intracartilaginous incisions
(Figure 2.5) and should be preferred if possible.
Each incision is made for a specific reason, allowing the sur-
geon access to a specific part of the nose. The nose resembles (a)
a house with many rooms when the outer soft tissue cover
and bone-cartilage relationship is examined. Surgery using
the open technique will require cutting into many walls to
reach each room, whereas with the closed technique, which
uses fewer cuts, the operation would be limited to one or more
selected regions. This anatomic aspect of the nose is presented
as the “Room Concept” [7].

2.2.4 Preservation
As much preservation as possible of all anatomic structures
during dissection and exposure is the key point of aesthetic
rhinoplasty procedures (Figures 2.30–2.33). Preservation

rior intracartilaginous incision with a submembranous dissection plane;

(blue arrow) detached scroll ligament; (red arrow) the transition zone (not
yet penetrated).
2.2.5 Reshaping
Bone structures are the main support element of the nose; this
support is weakened when osteotomy is performed. Therefore,
it is very important to know the concept of osteoplasty. In the
first step, reshaping of the nasal and maxillary bones will be
a more conservative approach with osteoplasty techniques. If
osteoplasty is not enough, then osteotomy can proceed to get the
desired shape. When and how should osteoplasty be performed?

structures can be preserved.

contraction will be seen since the soft tissue cover is fully pro-
tected with the perichondrium-periosteum layer which cannot
shrink or stretch. In such cases, it is logical to use the DUAL
dissection plane (detailed in Chapter 7).
If redraping can be achieved by the redistribution of the
soft tissue cover without excision, this should be prioritized
(Video 2.6). However, if the skin cover is too thick, then peri-
chondrio-SMASectomy, as described in Chapter 4, should be
performed as a further step.
After these steps, the soft tissue cover will have a more
homogeneous distribution in thickness. However, redraping
can continue if the ligaments are preserved or repaired again.
According to the Room Concept, the excessive skin in the lower
third of the nose can be adapted to the nasal skeleton using the
Pitanguy and scroll ligaments, and the excess skin at the upper
two-thirds with the pyramidal ligament (Video 2.7).

3.3 Maxilloplasty
Maxillary hypoplasia is the condition in which one of the
alar bases is more displaced than the other in such a way as
to include the upper part of the nasolabial fold in the sagittal
plane (Figure 3.5). If the maxillary hypoplasia is lesser than
2 mm, then the opposite maxilla can be deepened with a power
burr. Symmetry with the hypoplasic side is ensured and the
risks of grafting are not taken; thus, a more symmetrical and
successful result can be obtained (Video 3.4) [8]. If the maxil-
lary hypoplasia is more than 2 mm, then maxillary augmenta-
tion should be performed (detailed in Chapter 5).
It is always useful to check the osteotomy lines after the
osteotomy with palpation or endoscopically as roughness in
these lines can be smoothed and perfected using the maxil-
loplasty method (Video 3.5).
In crooked noses, the maxilloplasty technique can also be
used to prepare a groove for the nose to sit on after rotation to
reduce the difference between the maxilla on both sides (see
fix down technique).

injector to inject diced cartilage and began to use it on the nose
for saddle nose repair. However, as the obtained results were
not ideal, this application was abandoned for quite some time.
Onur Erol’s [20] publication in 2000 related to a diced carti-
lage application known as the “Turkish Delight” attracted the
attention of surgeons to this interesting technique, causing it to
be frequently used in rhinoplasty and also to have more than
100 articles written about it.
In conclusion, dorsum excision is a surgical procedure which
may later require structural repair and camouflage techniques.
The most common technique is component hump removal,
which minimizes the amount of excision to be made on the
dorsum, followed by repair with a spreader flap, graft, or oste-
otomies. If any roughness is observed on the surface after the
reconstruction, the surface can be repaired with camouflage
techniques.

States, 'while specially asserting the rights of Hungary and
its independence.' Another version of this somewhat oracular
statement runs as follows:—'Hungary, without infringing the
Ausgleich law, will find ways and means of regulating those
affairs which, in virtue of the Pragmatic sanction, are common
to both States, while at the same time protecting her own
interests and giving greater emphasis to her independence.'
Dr. Szell added:—'When the right time comes I shall explain my
views, and eventually submit proposals to the House.
Meanwhile, let us husband our strength and keep our powder
dry.' The self-confident and almost defiant tone of this
forecast, coming from a responsible statesman accustomed to
display such prudence and moderation of language as M. Szell,
has made a profound impression in Austria. It assumes the
breakdown of the Austrian Parliamentary system to be a
certainty, and anticipates the adoption by Hungary of
one-sided measures which, according to M. Szell, will afford
more effective protection to its interests and confirm its
independence. This seems to be interpreted in Vienna as an
indication that the Hungarian Premier has a cut and dry scheme
ready for the revision of the Ausgleich in a direction which
bodes ill for Austria. The gravity of the Ministerial
statement is recognized by journals of such divergent views as
the semi-official 'Fremdenblatt,' the pan-Germanic and
Anti-Semitic 'Deutsche Zeitung,' and the 'Neues Wiener
Tagblatt,' which is the organ of the moderate German element.
The 'Neues Wiener Tagblatt' frankly acknowledges that, in
addition to all her other cares, Austria has now to consider
the crucial question of the form which her relations with
Hungary will assume at no distant date. Commercial severance
and declarations of independence are, it says, being discussed
by the initiated sections of the community in both countries,
as if it were a matter of merely economic concern, instead of
the greatest and most perilous political problem that the
Monarchy has been called upon to solve since the establishment
of the Dual system, which, in spite of its complexity, has
worked well for such a long period. The 'Neues Wiener
Tagblatt,' nevertheless, admits that things have now reached a
stage at which economic severance is no longer impossible." In
a subsequent speech on New Year's Day, M. Szell declared that
it "would be a fatal mistake to sever the ties which had so
long connected the two countries, as the objects for which
they were called into existence still remained and their
fundamental basis was not shaken."
