The Effects of Vibration Treatment in Rhinoplasty

The "3 Points Compartmentalization" Technique in Subperichondrial-Subperiosteal Dissection in Primary Rhinoplasty to Reduce Edema and Define Contour

Proper control of postoperative edema in rhinoplasty matters significantly, both regarding patient satisfaction and preventing loss of definition and aesthetic surface contour in the dorsum and tip. The "3 points compartmentalization" technique described in this paper aims to fulfill the above goals by (1) dissection in a subperichondrial-subperiosteal plane and (2) reducing the dead space by three strategically placed key sutures that compartmentalize the nose and redrape the single-plane dissection in an anatomically correct position.Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
